I can't tell from Headers what message(s) will give me the info I want and I just haven't the patience to go through them all..could someone sum up what is happening with the gone but not forgotten Commodore company? Has someone bought it or what? Does anyone know if the European companies are affected..especially CommodoreUK? Thanks Nancy

Nancy, AT this point…nothing official, just rumors, the strongest of which is that Samsung will be buying out the company and will continue to produce Amiga's. Again…that is just RUMOR, nothing official yet. Don

Nancy, Nothing has been officially announced yet. When we do get an announcement that is 'official' we'll put it in the NEWS FLASH so that it can't be missed unless you don't read the Forum NEWS FLASH.

I've already forgotten about Commodore since 1988…The Amiga will never die, tho, look at the hellish time that the original A1000 owners had back in 1985 and how far we have gotten today. I think there's still hope.

Joe, Hey, I still love my Amiga 1000! Except maybe that monster 3.5" NEC drive. "Grraaank! Grraaank!" Geez, I saw the external drive for the latest Toshiba laptops, I mistook it for a 3.5" disk! Regards, John Chang Technical Support Manager Scala, Inc.

That was my wife's first comment when I got the A1200… "Is the floppy not working right?" <g> That A1000 drive could wake up the neighbors alright… Chris – Fast and Low on my '020! Is it significant that my spell-checker doesn't know "Intel"?

Chris, Ah yes, the A1200… well, actually unlike other computer chassis/cases the Amigas were designed much like a Strat violin. Finely tuned to enhance the tonal quality of "Groooonk! Grooooonk!" ;-} Regards, John Chang Technical Support Manager Scala, Inc. P.S. OK, OK Steve I'm rambling! I'll move this to the appropriate forum!

My GVP A500-HD+ sounds like it has intestinal problems… Joe Costa

Joe, ROFL… The same sounds like eating three day old cold pizza, eh? ;-} Regards, John Chang Technical Support Manager Scala, Inc.
