Subject:Re: Future of Amiga

Hi Luca,

Well, OS3.5 is due for release in late September.

Recently a company called Iwin popped up out of nowhere, alleged to be building Amiga compatible computers at attractive prices. Though no one can verify if they are legit. Personally I don't think so.
Their site is http://www.iwin-corp.com/

A while ago Jim Collas stated that communication was important, and made an effort to keep the community updated. Now they seem to have done another U-turn, and stated "For the next several months, the Amiga staff will be focused on implementing our business and product plans. We will not be discussing or commenting on future company directions during this time. ".

This all sound a bit suspicious, getting closer to a new machine launch you would be expecting them to be shouting a bit more loudly. I understand that they can't or won't release the specs. But this silence hardly inspires confidence.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if bad news is on the way...but then I am a bit of a pessimist. ;)
