Hello, I know I'm coming in on the discussion late, and I'm more than a little upset about C= going out of business…I'd like it if people would tell me what they know about it. I have a subscription to Amiga World and they've not mentioned C= liquidation yet, I wonder why… By the way, C= still answers their phones, a sign of hope???????

Nathan >>I'm more than a little upset about C= going out of business…I'd like it if people would tell me what they know about it.<< There isn't much 'official' info. However, Commodore did consist of 35 or so individual companies, and many of them were not affected by the 'voluntary liquidation'. Commodore, as was, is dead. But there is hope that the Amiga may be continued by the rest of the Commodore subsidaries under another company like Samsung, HP, etc. — Nathan >>I have a subscription to Amiga World and they've not mentioned C= liquidation yet, I wonder why<< Magazines like AMIGA WORLD have a two to three month news lag, due to time needed to arranage the articles, advertising, art, proof reading, printing, and shipping.

Only facts to go on yet, Commodore is in voluntary liquidation, A number of Commodore companies are still in business though. It appears there are a number of parties interested, in Commodore's assets. But no word from anybody yet. AW did commit several pages in the July issue to the liquidation. There are still about 20 some people at West Chester. maybe they trade off answering the phone. Richard -> AutoPilot on the A1000, the only Amiga without the C= logo.
