Merlancia.com server changes.

[Indoro]

For anyone attempting to access www.merlancia.com: Merlancia.com will be down for a few days while we consolidate our server systems. Please use merlanciausa.com in the meanwhile. We apologise in advance for any inconvienence.

[Indoro]

Well, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Merlancia moves"? If you are referring to why we are working on our servers now, it's an easy answer. We are trying to consolidate our websites, merlancia.com anbd merlanciausa.com so that any old material is gone by the end of January. We are working on updates to the new Merlancia Industries site and products sections, as well as other sections that will be going live in the next few weeks.

We are hoping to have some exciting news for you all by the new year, or the second week of January at the latest.

We are just trying to keep everyone informed of what is going on, unlike other companies, in case someone tries to go to www.merlancia.com and gets a server error. We do not want people to assume that getting a server error means we have vanished. We are working on these servers right now, as I type this. in fact, many of the changes have already been made that were important. All of our machines are on T3 connections now, and our old equipment is no longer in use (it has been replaced by new equipment), which means faster connection times and data transfers for everyone.

Hope this helps to explain what is going on. Have a happy holidays and (pre-emptively) a Happy New Year .

I'm glad you like the site design. Our product information sections will be changing over the next few weeks. Any news on Merlancia products will be announced when we have product ready to show, and product ready to ship. We do not hold to the Amiga, Inc. philosophy of "announce and sell, then try to design". This is why we have never taken even one thin disme for any of our product designs.

We will only begin to take orders when we have product to ship, and we will make no further product announcements until we have something new to show. We've been quiet over the last few months, but we've been busy as well.

We are also working on upgrades to our services, like AmigaZone. Just remember, when all seems to be darkest, look for a ray of starlight. There are things moving behind the shadows.

TTFN & Cheers,

Mark, I will divide this into small sections so you can understand the words. I don't want to overload your neural structure with anything too complex:

1. In regards to Merlancia:
You have no clue what we are "in the business" of doing, nor what sources of income we have other than the currently pitiful unprofitable Amiga 68k market.

2. In regards to "we", "we" referres to in this case:

Ryan E A Czerwinski
Rizwan Rasheeed
Ryan Towe
Harv Laser
Brandon Emerson

all of which hae been working on the Merlancia website this week.

3. In regards to comments about Amiga Inc:
No, we as one of thier investors, and one of many companies that they royally swindled are more than qualified to complain about the state of affairs at the moment with Amiga, Inc. We are more qualified than anyone else here. How much money did you give them?

4. In regards to yoiur reference to 'MooBunny'
I have been "royally" defamed, and libeled on "Moobunny", a site famous for trolls, and dimwitted idiots that will buy into any lead story posted there. Considering how many sites have banned your hero Mr Woods from even postoing, and that his website is now in a constant state of flux because no-one want sot host it after they find out what is on it, I would expect a littlle better out of you. Then again, what can I expect from a guy that uses a cartoon yellow dragon as an avathar. That speaks volumes about you, sir.

5. In regards to merlancia.com:
There is no such thing as a "complete" website. All websites are in a constant state of metamorphosis, the gradual development of a piece of art. No piece of artwork is ever complete, only abandoned.

6. (The important one)
In regards to you:
Until you educate yourself a wee bit more, and figure out what planet you are on I suggest you watch what tone you take towards myself. Read the original post again..it didn't mention those who don't care about Merlancia or Merlancia products. It said specificly "for anyone attempting to access merlancia.com". If you are not reading our website, and you are not a client of ours, then this thread is not directed at you, and I have no reason to waste any more time on you.

Don't buy our products when they ship. Please, save us the effort of dealing with you.

Regards,

There is no need of slagging the messenger !
MooBunny is probraly the only forum that is really open, and most of
the sites regulars don't just have a critic/cynic mind but they actually
have a mind of their own, and some real knowledge.
Something that far to often gets replaced with blind believe on other
pages (from all sides).

Yes, it is open, but it is also the site where, from past reading, almost every post is a flame war haunted by trolls. Unfortunately most Amiga "News" sites have become this these days.

No I don't think that stalker is news, but I allready had a hard time taking
your company serious before, and the only thing you could do is making
atleast some of your promises true.
I find it simple hillarious that some people slag you of, only to praise AInc
in th next post, when all you have done sofar is stealing peoples time
instead of money.

Well, they stole time from everyone, and money from some. Over 1000 poop people sent in that $50 and got absolutely nothing in return.

In contrast, we have never, I repeat, *never* taken money for any of these products that we have announced, even when offered. Yes, everything is late, behind schedule by vast months of time. The major concern over the past year has been what to run on PPC hardware. You have to admit, that with out an OS to run, it would be quite worthless to all of you.

We won't ship an Amiga related product running Linux. We will sell Linux PPC systems, yes, but that hasn't been an interest in the Amiga community.

If you really got some money in AInc, and don't like the way they are
doing biusness, may I advice you to take whatever needed (legal)
action to get it back ? If this would lead to the death of AInc, it would
atleast bring an end to a 3 year long nightmare

We are. And, it's not just about an invesmen gone sourt, it's about other things too. Some of their employees are doing the same, as well as other former business partners and investors. They have made a lot of promices to everyone, taken money for product that doesn't work, and taken money for product that doesn't exist.

People complain about Phase5 and Antigravity. Compare to Amiga, Inc, they are angels with little golden halos.

I just checked the site and I don't see what should be wrong with it. So what if there are a few broken links? It is on the proces of updating, rigth? I don't know Merlancia but it seems I should keep checking it a lot. I saw some nice products there. I just checked the site and I don't see what should be wrong with it.

We are updating the products section this week. Some fo the rest of the site will start going online as well.

if you note, there are no trully "broken" links. There are no 404 errors anyway. There are a lot of directories that are forbidden at this time, because we are not yet ready to reveal their contents. There is a huge difference between a broken link, and a link to a protected directory. Some people do have access to these directories, on a different site with a login prompt.

hmmm that pic of Kramer reminded me of the epi with the cuban cigars. Wich leads me to the fact that I still have to arrange a few for next week.

Kramer is a symbol of my philosophy. a somewhat misunderstood, odd individual that was very sharp and intelligent. That's a scn of the Cigar Afficianado issue with Michael Richards, in case you were wondering. (I am an avid cigar smoker myself.)

TTFN,

First an utterly moronic question: Will it run OS4?

That is a question that remains to be answered. OS4 is a hypothetical product at the moment, even for the AmigaOne/MAI systems. Until it is finished, who knows what it will run on.

Seconldly: Got any plans for a dual G4 Amiga?

Yes. Both single and dual 74xx series systems are planned, as well as systems with different IBM components.

No, we will not simply be selling Pegasos boards. We have additional design work, both electronic and industrial that is going into what we are producing. And no, I don't mean 'selling'.

We aren't just taking off the shelf parts and slapping them together.

M68k based Amiga sales are pitiful, as a source of income anyway. The M68k community is not pitiful, save mayhaps for a select few individuals. It is the sales of 68k Amiga hardware and software that are pitiful.

For now, MorphOS is what we will be working with. If and when AmigaOS 4 is ready, we will work with it. Linux is an option for those that want is, as may be BeOS.

When the people see, touch and feel these products, they will recognise that they are immediately "Amiga". Something creative, different, elegant and sexy.

Oh yes, the lovely SDK that no-one wanted. The SDK that didn't even include all the tools needed to develop for the still unfinished AmigaDE that no-one uses. The wonderful SDK that we have over 1000 sets of in storage that no-one wabts to buy because it is quite useless.

And OS3.9. Wonderful. The took forever to decide to do that, then said it was the end of "Amiga CLASSIC", waited a year, then announces OD4, and we're a year from there anbd how many release dates late?

And let's not forget the latest bomb, the $50 coupon and T-Shirt fiasco. God help us here...

You know, Amiga took hundreds of thousands of dollars fromt he Amiga community, and gave us notheing but lies abnd garbage for it all. In retrospect, we took, exactly...

ZERO

from ANYONEl and let's put that in a time frame...

EVER!

for any of the products that we announced that have yet to ship. We have had people willign to prepay in advance for multple units, and we turned down their money.

Sure, we are taking a long time to do anything, but your beloved Amiga Inc isn't doing you or anyone else any favours here. So who are more evil. The guys that have yet to make anything that are taking your cash, or the guys that are working their asses off that have yet to release anything, but haven't asked you for a bloody cent yet?


Answer me that...

I have never sold any Amiga items on eBay, nor any pooh bear keychains or whatnot as you have outlined. I have sold a few coins, currency and the occasional casino cheque on ebay, and I buy antiques, numismatic and phillatellic collectibles, lesney collectibles, cigar related materials, furnishings from the victorian to WW2 era, fountain pens, computing prototypes, and Middle-Earth related colleectibles over the past few years.

I don't sell items on eBay unless I have a good reason to. buying casine cheques or $2 bills bound into Caesar's Palace brand pads in vega$ and turning them around for a 500% profit is a way to recoup losses in Vega$. That's about the extent of my eBay sales.

The last item I bought on eBay was a sword made of high carbon spring steel.

What planet are you on again, or what parallel universe did you drop out of?
