Nope. Commodore's fate was in the cards. Expectations (not any profits) weren't being met and the BoD made the decision. My belief (and that's all that it is) is that in the face of ever-stiffening competition (in Apple and M$'s new OS), they folded rather than tough it out. I don't see this with Poser either. Poser is software. Amiga was a complete computer platform (hardware, software, OS). Had CL and EgiSys closed their doors with no transfer of ownership that would be the end. But they luckily tossed the ball to someone who may actually score. [Sorry about all the football references - must be nearing Sunday!] ;) I intend to keep a close eye on E-Frontier. My Japanese reading skills are minimal, but Babelfish suffices at extracting pertinent information very quickly. Let's see what news they have to offer about their acquisition of Poser when it arrives.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
