  Hmm...thought this was indeed, "old" news. In fact, it was announced,
  then met with a very mixed response by the Amiga community at large,
  right before Gateway announced that there would be NO new Amiga's,
  rather that they would concentrate on making the Amiga technology
  available for other things, such as desktop sets.
  
  (and this was right after the former President of Amiga, Inc left.
  You should read the new presidents message about it. Its as good a
  "song and dance" as you would get from Clinton or Gates) ;-)
