Amiga Inc. got naming rights for the new Kent hockey arena, and Kent is only now learning about the company's troubled recent-past.

As far as I can tell, the only interesting thing about Amiga, Inc. is that they own the name and presumably some of the IP from the awesome line of personal computers of the '80s. None of the awesomeness exists today, so Amiga, Inc. stories really shouldn't catch my eye. Now they're marginally more interesting for having a local presence, albeit a turbulent one.

Recent Commodore stories are similarly odd. I recognize the name and the logo, but what else is there for me to enjoy? What possible relationship between the company of today and the company of yesterday could there be that would capitalize on my nostalgia?
