I called the AW hotline and its last message has been posted – there will be no more updates from Dan Sullivan. He cited frustration with the continuous delays and posted a overseas number (which I did not get) operated by Commodore UK to keep people abreast of their buyout status. He made no mention about the fate of AW itself. Heck, if they had made the hotline a "900" number, they would have earned enough on that operation to keep AW in the black for years!

Incidentally, that overseas number hasn't been updated since Feb. 15, and contains at this stage contains nothing really new …

Well, except for predictions that did not come true. (ie. "We expect a final settlement in our favor within the next two weeks. & Our bid and deposit have been placed and accepted.") There has been no real news for months…. PS: At least one party has made more than one offer. One begins to wonder how many deposits they have made. If the liquidators had put in a 900 line, they could have made enough money to pay off all of C='s debts. Did not that C$erve is reporting record earnings. Something to do with one of their computer interest groups having record traffic flow.

Heck, it's because of us Amiga users' traffic through here that C-serve was able to drop the 14.4 rates by 50%! 🙂
