COMMODORE GETS A BUYER Amiga users, take heart: U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York on Friday approved the sale of the assets of Commodore International to Escom AG of Germany, Knight-Ridder reports. Ardent Amiga fans have been waiting since Commodore filed for liquidation a year ago to know whether their once cutting-edge machines would have a future. Escom agreed to pay $10 million for Commodore's core assets, including its Amiga computers. President Manfred Schmitt has said that Escom will restart production of all Commodore products, and will make IBM PC- compatible and Apple-compatible PowerPCs under the Commodore name for the European market. Bernard van Tienen, a member of Escom's board of directors, promised that American Commodore users and fans would not be forgotten. "We didn't buy Commodore just to have it. We bought it to develope the technology and to sell products," he said. Dave PutytheCat@Delphi.com
