Seems to me that "where will both the dealers and the customers for an Amiga clone come from?", is the problem for the clone developer to answer. Apple (II series), and the IBM both had their clones. The better ones survived, and the inferior ones didn't. In the case of Compaq, they were noted for building a clone that was an improvement upon the original. If a clone outift can build a better Amiga, than the orignal, I'm open to it. As it stands, nobody is building anything, and the market for the Amiga is evaporating. This is somehow better than having a clone vendor with boxes on the shelves? So how would a clone builder expect to succeed where the Amiga has failed? Well, they might just offer more bang for the buck, provide some sort of rational marketing plan, and then even implement it. To send the reverse of the question back your way…. How can the buyer of the Amiga expect to succeed, where the original failed? IMHO it's becoming pretty plain to see that neither group is overly endowed with monitary backing. If either were, they could offer a sum that would make the liquidators snap to attention, and put the bid beyond the grasp of the opposition. As more details surface, it looks more and more like the dollar figures are pretty low. While one always wants to get the best price, there is a steady errosion of the value of the porperty. While the bidders are moaning about the liquidators not understanding this, they also don't seem well heeled enough to put a bid on the table so that they can get the rights and be on their way to the financial riches they supposed to be at the end of a resurrected Amiga Rainbow. – Alex… Celebrating 10 years on Compuserve
