I think all these "condolences" are a little over the top. With all the abuse some of you guys here gave him and all the ill will you gave his CUSA the condolences you are giving him seem a little hypocritical. One minute he is much hated then you find out he is dead and suddenly he turns into a much loved celebrity? Seriously?
Fine, you all made it clear a long time ago that you really hate the guy. Say your condolences or even better say nothing. Just stop pretending you liked the guy.
There's a huge difference between hating someone and hating their actions.
Personally, I hate what C=USA did with the Amiga name - but never in a million years would I or any other sane(ish) person on here wish him to get cancer like this, no matter what he did. No computer is worth a human life.
I don't see the hypocrisy in slating his actions when he was alive, and yet offering condolences now - quite the opposite in fact. It shows that when it comes right down to it, we're all human, and in situations like this we're all the same whatever camp we're in.
I don't think any of the people so critical of C=USA would ever wish this on him.
That said, neither should we rewrite history and make him something he wasn't. He was a businessman, pure and simple. But more importantly, he was someone's family... and that's why we can all offer condolences, no matter how much we jumped up and down about his business practices.
