that's what I call good news !

sooner the AInc is down, better it'll be for the Amiga

Graham Humphrey · 25 July 2007, 19:06

Yep, I have to agree.... a total embarassment as per usual.

That deal still has not been completed, in part because Amiga is now offering less money than specified in the initial agreement, said Hodgson, who would not give details.

That's just awesome.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

man there not enough L's and O's for that bit of news!!!!!

Graham Humphrey · 25 July 2007, 19:28

I wonder if one of the global mods could take the "not" out of the thread title...

"I do believe Amiga wants to do the deal. We're close, but we're not there yet," Campbell said.

I guess Campbell is not an Amiga fan or would know better.

Ah, it's all ok.
Mr McEwan has reassured all by issuing the following statement:

"Two more weeks."

Graham Humphrey · 25 July 2007, 19:31

That is stunningly naive... maybe they'll want to complete the deal in two more weeks...

eLowar · 25 July 2007, 19:33

Seriously, reading the second article it sounds like those people don't communicate at all. They're dealing with millions of dollars there, and they don't even seem to have properly negotiated everything and -- uh -- made contracts in advance. What the hell?

Charlie · 25 July 2007, 19:36

D*mn,
Beaten to the joke by GH.

I'll have to improve my editing speed.

Amiga plans to move its headquarters from New York City to Kent and open a new technology incubator in the city, bringing nearly 240 jobs to Kent.

Paul_s · 25 July 2007, 20:03

Don't worry it'll all be sorted in two more weeks!

damn beaten to it again! oh well

Zetr0 · 25 July 2007, 20:07

Paul_s · 25 July 2007, 20:26

I was thinking also, why don't we all goto one of Bill McEwens speaches and throw tomatoes at him...... then have a riot carrying him around the streets naked with a lampost stuck up his ass?

Ironclaw · 25 July 2007, 20:39

My name is Kent..... yay!.... irrelevant?, so?

I meant that seriously, no joking, no irony, just be patient, it was reaction to the joke

I´m afraid it´s not joke, it´s reality
