Thought it was time to send another of these out, just so people don't think
we've stopped watching the Commodore situation. There just hasn't been any
reliable information available lately, but things seem to be happening.
First, rumor indicates that Commodore UK either didn't get the final bid
after all or, more likely, passed on it. Rumor assigns two reasons to this
event (pick your favorite) 1- UK's financing is crumbling. 2- UK figures they
will be in a better position if they let CEI make the final bid, then come
up with a better final counter-bid.
Secondly, rumor states that CEI is now in the driver's seat. Rumor further
states that CEI's main source of financing is "Scala", a top notch Amiga
graphics software company. Supposedly, Scala's financing comes in turn from
Ameritech. Keep in mind that a number of former Commodore employees have in
fact migrated to Scala. This includes, I believe, Dave Haney who was the
keeper of the Amiga's operating system at Commodore.
It is known for a fact that there was to be a second conunter-bidding phase
to the buyout after the first bidding phase. We should be and seem to be in that
phase now. It is probably a good sign that there are no reliable leaks. On the
other hand, it is obvious that a great deal of time is passing that the Amiga
community can ill afford. However, the Christmas season was lost weeks ago, so
the immediate sense of urgency is past in any event. Look for real information
in January at the earliest now. Sigh.

Thank you! I've corrected the date in the article. However, some websites list January 1980 as the date of death.
