| Maybe they're after the Amiga patents. Although $700m might be a little overpriced..

Ahh, so the title needs to be corrected to "Gateway to be sold to Acer" then... ;)

| Money talks and a bull walks. Hope they don't go belly up like the curse goes. Now this would be a big-one (again) for Amiga-patents. If a wise-guy does not say in the lead: What patents;) |

| I think the headline is misleading, as it has not yet been sold to anyone.
The sale is from what i understood still under negotiation, which means it might not even happen... |

| Acer probably thinks an Amiga1200 is an oversized keyboard or something similar. |
But just a minute! Does Gateway STILL own something Amiga-related??  Last edited by mwoof on 28-Aug-2007 at 06:42 PM.
