Amiga & AROS Tedd Gallion, speaking on behalf of a group called the DiscreetFX partners, has sent out a letter to the Amiga community with quite an interesting topic: to buy out the AmigaOS4 and the Amiga brand from Amiga, Inc. The letter states that DiscreetFX and its partners have contacted Amiga, Inc., but that the company asked a completely insane amount of money. DiscreetFX and its partners now ask the community to contact Amiga, Inc., and urge them to sell the Amiga OS and its brand to DiscreetFX for a fair price. "Urge Amiga Inc. sell to us for a fair price. We will end the lawsuit, we will end the fighting., we will end the madness. If we were in charge Amiga OS 4.0 would be available today on SAM." Spelling and grammar weren't exactly a priority in the letter, so credibility is a bit dubious. The credibility has been more or less confirmed.

What sort of way to do business is that?

So you can't get someone who doesn't want you to sell you something that is valuable to them, at a price you think is "fair". The correct response is not to whine and stamp your feet, and it is certainly not to try and get others to stamp their feet with you. What does DiscreetFX honestly expect to happen here?

Post-C= Amiga has always been a bit of a circus, but this takes it to a whole new level. Ridiculous.
