What if Everyone Sent Amiga, Inc. a $1 ????

Not that they probably really need it <> , but I think the Amiga Community needs to give some charity where it's most needed. So I am suggesting everyone send $1  Gift as a free gift contribution to Amiga, Inc.  If every Amiga user sent them just one dollar I bet they would be in better position financially to make an impact.

Amiga, themselves would never ask for it so that's why I think it's such a cool idea..

I was being serious.. For the good of the Amiga and just saying to others we know that the company still exists we should all write checks or money orders for $1 and send it to them..

Superpages.COM lists this as their address and phone number (funny it's not on their own website anywhere, and believe me I spidered it)

LOL this is such a great topic, it's got everyone commenting :-)

On the flow of Microsoft giving out cash to Amiga, Inc. What a great Idea!  They Settled with what is left of Be, Inc. for $23 Million. This suit alleged that Microsoft  had used anti-competitive tactics to keep the  BeOS from being included with  PC type machines.  Of course this is a settlement.. and Microsoft did this out of the goodness in their heart not to go to court about it, and certainly they did not admit to any wrong doing or admit that there was any validity to Be Inc's claims..

So what happens the next time another "OS" pops up? The settlement is great for Be stockholders but what about people who want competitive OSes out there (besides Apple which Microsoft seems to give money to so it can survive too). We all know that's a real competitor for them right??

Maybe we should send whoever's next a $1..

Now Methuselas :-) this is the absolutely best topic I could ever have imagined and has generated more responses than I could ever dream for, fun ones too!

You don't think in this world economically depressed climate I'd actually be sending them $1 or suggesting anyone else ever do so?? I reallly say this in jest, mostly to get people to respond about what the really feel (which you have done most eloquently).

I am actually stirring the "pot" so to speak cause I want to hear people's reaction to the idea of them "give to A Inc. as a Charity". Or if they think they should keep it alive...
