I think my hopes are well founded. Even if they aren't, a little optimism
never hurt anything. 🙂
I, too, will believe it when I see it. Commodore has yet to initiate a
solid marketing plan for the Amiga. I wish we could discover the reasons
behind this. They have the hardware. They have the OS. Why can't they
sell it? Even if they can't crush the PeeCee or Mac market share, they
have to go after it as if they can! Anyway, I hope the recent flood of
optimism from the Pasadena WoCA is more than just wishful fantasy. I
guess only time will tell.
Regardless of what Commodore does or doesn't do, I still think the rumors
you've heard in the UK have little to no credibility. Commodore is often
targeted with rumors of exaggerated specs right before new hardware is
introduced, and rumors of "the end is near" right after. This is a trend
we've seen before.
