Dan,
I am afraid I can not share your attitude towards GVP. The have made some
innovative products for the amiga and priced them competitively. They served
use well when they where in their heyday. Times are hard for all amigoids,
vendors and users. They hung on as long as they could, cut where they felt
necessary to stay alive, tech support was one area that suffered, BUT they
could have jumped ship at the 1st inkling of trouble, months ago.
Where would we (the amiga community) be today if there never was a GVP? For
the hobby and professional user, I would bet they have sold more product than
any other 3rd party vendor for the Amiga.
I mourn the loss and salute what they have done. It would make my mind
easier knowing I was sticking with the Amiga, and GVP was there too.
Times truely are sad for all of us Amigans.

Steve,
Yes, in their heyday they were strong, and you make my case even more, in that
they should have realized that continued support and marketing to the
established user base would more than insure their continued access and success
in this market. Amiga owners are the most loyal users in the world, and even
today there is a strong demand for existing GVP products, because they are
"good." I am glad that someone has bought their assets, and hope that the new
company will make a go of it. But, it will only happen in the word "support"
is more than just a word, but the the way of life for the new entity. GVP shot
themselves in the foot, it got gangreene and it killed them.
