First of all Alan's negativity and badmouthing of the AmigaOS sucks.
The Leander is being pretty much honest. Right now there is no new hardware to run OS4, that situation has existed for about 18 months now, and Hyperion doesnt seem to be doing alot about it. In addition, Amiga Inc claims they have bought the OS back, Hyperion claims they have not, and the one of the Wonder Twins says that they not anyone else owns the kernal of OS4. Can you explain how we should think of any of the above as positive?
Secondly, what, exactly, do we need Amiga Inc. for anyway? I doubt they have the money to mount a legal challenge against anybody who tried to infringe on their "rights". Maybe a little economic hardship would be all it would take to convince them to sell off whatever rights they do suposedly have.
They sue people if they infringe, do you believe that Hyperion won't get sued if they sell OS4 and dont pay the royalties to Amiga Inc? As for economic hardship, I'm not sure what more can be done to them. They were kicked out of there offices, everything auctioned off, they've lost 8 court cases (at least) for money that they have yet to pay out, and yet Bill McEwen was still "secretly" being paid by his boss as we found out on the most recent lawsuit involving the on again off again CEO of Amiga Inc Garry Hare.
Does Fleecy stll have a greencard?
Fleecy was deported years ago. He's been back in the UK for close to 4 years now.
