It seams like the Schneider AG, once famous maker of the CPC Series Computers (well, OEM of the Amstrad CPCs) and later on of more or less IBM compatible machines (in the beginning less later on more :) is finaly bankrupt - in an as hoc notice the company declared they will officialy stop bussines and file an 'Insolvenzantrag' today. http://lib-o-mat.feedback.de/cms-public/schneider/presse/technologies/1076.… Schneider stoped to make computers some years ago, but was still a name to know in A/V Electronic. Tey own a real lot of patents around modern Display technology, digital recording and HDTV. Especialy their relativly new Laser projection system ins unique. Well, there goes the hope to get cheap laser systems soon. Gruss H. -- VCF Europa 3.0 am 27./28. April 2002 in Muenchen http://www.vcfe.org/
