You may be smiling soon…if what was in the editorial section of Info magazine is true. According to info, in their rumours section… <I havent read it, but it was read over the phone to me>, and with all the proper disclaimers attached….it says that Hewlett Packard has discussed Commodore as an acquisition target. The name has come up several times, and they are apparantly looking to shore up the low end of their product line, now that they have taken over Apollo and have a good high end workstation lineup. Apparantly some HP engineers are pretty hot on amiga technology. I have no idea whether what info reported was true, but at the current price of CBU stock, considering their cash on hand, and cash flow….a takeover doesnt seem like such a silly idea.
