He met there David Pleasance of C= UK, and asked cople questions from me that I had prepared forhim. In short, I wanted to know whyit has taken this long to prepare the deal, and answer was that the deal includes all wealth, all rights, patents, programs, spare parts and materials that C= INtl (etc) had. Canada and C= UK have most of them. The talks have been delayed for example because the Far East factories inventories have been hard to complete. "The reasons for delays should be asked from the representatives of creditors, since we have tried to be as active as possible". Pleasance has created with Colin Proudfoot a group, that is committed to continue producing old Amiga models, and continue researching planned models, and market them. The lawyers of creditors have recommended accepting "Management-buy-out"'s offer. But US courts must accept this process, and this will unfortunately take 2-3 more weeks. "We have planned to use Amiga International" when continuing producing Amiga, and technically fastest we can build new A4000s. About the business side: The funders of MBU don'tneed very successful first christmas, but are interested in next 18 months sales. They are satisfied withthe normal sales of C= for the first period that C= UK has normally achieved in UK. Other markets outside UK will be important as well, but the background forces funding MBU are most interested in UK situatino. The 1st new product will be A4000T in January 1995, but that will require replacing certain non-stable components with reliable ones. Other new products will come at their time... ! Samsung is no more in the deal! Only MBU, CEI and a German group are competing. ! Well, that's it for now. All errors in typing and dictionary are mine, since I translated this from Finnish interview-text, that was translated to Finnish from english. :-) And I did it fast, not bothering to check everything. The only thing I wish to say, that this is all 100% VALID FACT. NO RUMOUR, NO 2nd HAND INFORMATION! This is directly from David Pleasance, what he said in Holland. It is all basic material for next MikroBITTI computer magazine's newspages, but I though to share it with you Internetters first. JOK -- Jukka O.
