Subject:      [cosa] Some news from Petro

Hi all,

I've just got off the phone with Petro.  Thought I'd share
a little info with y'all.

First, he's alive and well and still functioning as Amiga
International, Inc. and will continue to operate under Amino.

Tom Schmidt is also alive, well and employed by Gateway,
and still around in some capacity - although I'm not sure
what his new title or position is yet.  He is to come over
to Germany and meet with Petro soon to finalise everything.

Petro sounded very optimistic about the future, and said
he looks forward to continue to do his job and to the future
with Amino.

He said to expect some announcements from Amino in the
days and weeks ahead.  Keep a close eye on the Amiga
website.  According to Petro, there's going to be a small
update later today.

He also in this phonecall repeated his continuing support
for COSA and Open Source and asked me to convey his
best wishes to Amigans everywhere, and to let everyone
know that for him, it's "business as usual."

It's reassuring (to me at least) to know that whatever
happens with the Amiga, the one thing we can always
count on is that Petro will always be around.  Whoever
said we don't have stability in the Amiga world? ;-)

Best regards,
