Amiga fans could force merge Amiga Inc. and Hyperion...

Just a freaky stupid funny idea I'm throwing at you all.

Amiga Inc. paid less than 50'000$ to hyperion for OS 4.0. Does that mean anything to you people?

And the worst is... they actually made it. Or so they say.

To me, what it means is, both companies are very low budget companies and probably could be bought out for a relatively low price. Low being less than 500'000$ each.

If only a few hundreds, perhaps a few thousands of Amiga fans pooled a good amount of money together, it would be possible to buy out both companies, force merge them then force them to work together with one another and end this stupid battle.

But hey... that's just me... I'm a dreamer... an idealist... a crazy lunatic... a... whatever...

OR "drum roll" we could tell them both to get a therapist and get out of the amiga scene... both are just amatures with out a clue.   MorphOS is better anyway.

I think I was reading elsewhere that MorphOS doesn't work well with A1200/mediator/Voodoo ?

[guru-666]

yeah well the mediator is a hacky piece of hardware.. so yes it's true morph does not run of EVERY classic amiga. (neither does os4)  
What does that have to do with two amature companies that can't even tie there own shoe laces.
I think it's time the inc and hyperion make way for otheres as the both had plenty time and contine to fail in embarasing ways....let help them by putting them out of ther misserable existance. BOYCOT  In the end it's for there own good, I mean I would hate for Bill M to waist the rest of his life attemting to do someting he does not understand, it;s the human thing to do here.

Yeah, that's another alternative... in a few years, the patents will expire then we'll do what ever WE want...

[guru-666]

YES, sweet vicory could be ours....not that the patents are relevant anymore anyway.

What patents? All the commodore Amiga patents expired a couple of years ago... All that's left now are the trademarks... which A.Inc can renew as often as they like.

Personally, I think we should force Matt to wear nothing but those mil-spec, boing-ball knickers he's got.


They're HOT!  :lol:


I bet Cecilia would agree with me.  :crazy:

[guru-666]

yeah it's time we kick those guys out of the scene.  they are no longer relivant to the amiga... or maybe we should start calling it the omega. Omega is franckly a better name fora computer then amiga...  alpha and omega... the end.

How much are you offering to throw into the pot?

I don't know for other countries but here in Canada, the Lego vs Mega Blocks case confirmed patents last 20 years.

The AGA patents are dated 1991 or 1992, I think and therefore, technically still are under the juris(my)diction of Amiga Inc until 2012.
