As far as I know…. during the last year the R&D on the Amiga declined to a trickle. What is more, many of their protective patents expire fairly soon – so their unique technology will be fair game to all comers. Plus the fact that they have already lost – by layioff and attrition – some of their brightest technical people. I was visiting GVP (a few miles away from Commodore) last week… and heard the local scuttlebut. As soon as one lets up on R&D… you start to fall behind – especially in the competitive world of computers. Years ago I bought one of the first computers dedicated to video. This was the SONY SMG. An excellent machine, and the FIRST ever to use the then new 3.5" disk system. So I have been through this type of trauma before! From my point of view…. I would let Commodore die, but try and sell the Amiga technology – if it is not too late. All the best, Hilary.
