The bankruptcy proceedings are still progressing, and four businesses,
including Commodore UK, have tendered serious bids in the buyout of the
company. According to AmigaWorld, we should know more after the Labor Day
holiday. I would expect that whoever does buy the Amiga chipset will being
manufacturing the machines again (given the peristence of the market and the
fact that facilities already exist); but that's not necessarially reality.

PS> BTW, it's true that it's next to impossible to buy a new Amiga these days,
but if you look in the marketplace and for-sale newsgroups, there's deals
being set up all the time.
