Status: RO The following is a paraphrased fax sent to amiga dealers yesterday(sat.) from Creative Equipment International. I have no idea what this means for the long run... Begin; Dear CEI Dealer: As we have been expecting, Commadore International filed for liquidation in order to be proteced from its creditors Friday April 29, 1994, at 4:10 P.M. Commadore's official statement follows: "Commodore International Limited announded today that its Board of Directors hasa authorized the transfer of assets to trustees for the benefit of its creditor and has placed its major subsidiary, Commodore Electronics Limited, into voluntary liquidation. This is the intial phase of an orderly liquidation of bothe companies, which are incorporated in the Bahmas, by the Bahamas Supreme Court." This action does not affect the wholly-owned subsidiaries which include Commodor Buisiness Machines (USA), Commodore Buisiness machines LTD (Canada), Commodore/Amiga (UK), Commodore Germany, etc. Operations will continue normally. CEI has been working closely with Commodore's management and major investors to find a resolution to the current financial crisis. Commodore's actions now clear the way for PROGRESS to be made. In the next few weeks CEI will be making a number of important announcements. CEI currently has suffcient Amiga inventory to meet expected demand until manufacturing can be resumed. All our policies remain in tact, fullservice and support will continue. If you have any questions or concerns please contact your CEI representative. Please assure your customers that this event should be seen in the positive light. What if...better support, better products, better marketing, better prices, better margins all arose from the ashes. Stay tuned... Sincerely, Alex Amor President END: Spelling mistakes are mine BTW. I don't know if this gives reason for hope or if its just a way to run a fire sale. Either way I'm expecting a pc in my future. Since this post is not strictly imagine related I suggest those heartbroken amiga users like me who want to share insights keep it personal email or make the subject specific so pc Imagine users may skip over our sob stories. regards, paul wehner usr9110a@tso.uc.edu
