As reported at amiga.org:

Seems to be a list of useful but dated PCs, printers and furniture with a few PDAs thrown in.
I guess they will be most upset by the loss of the foosball table.

| Amiga Inc auction items : Comment 51 of 70 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Joe "Floid" Kanowitz on 04-Jun-2003 21:43 GMT | A few obvious thoughts, not that I'm claiming they're of importance:
-While a surplus of workstations sounds like a sign of excess, there's always the slim chance someone did the sensible thing, and bought up a palletized load of surplus machines. (Not saying I think anyone did, and those were pretty high-spec for the day... but *other* companies have lost their offices in the past.)
-On the other hand, those accomodations were equipped with a Decent Chunk of bandwidth for what we assume became a shrinking development group and a (more-affordably, one would hope) coloed web presence. Whether the drives are being wiped or not, one would assume there was plenty of opportunity to mirror development trees off-site, which should be any company's standard practice.
Meanwhile, with hardware devaluation as it is, the PocketPCs and hardware really aren't worth That Much (though one wonders if an organized liquidation via eBay could've paid off a settlement with some surplus or less embarassment), and the Mediaterminal and other rarities are presumably worth $0 - no sense developing for cancelled hardware/cancelled deals. |
