How about.... no? What on earth would I want to do that for? They've done nothing toward OS4 or the AmigaONE as far as I can see, and those are the products i'm basing my Amiga computing future on.

If you really want to donate, send it to Hyperion ;-)

I sent them 50 already but I still haven't got my T-shirt...

Is it usually the done thing to help out companies in need when otherwise they lie all the time?

Donate money to crooks? does the name Amiga mean that much to you? it must do to even suggest sending money to low life scum who are involved in fraud, deception, corruption, and god knows what other underhanded scams/schemes and other illegal activities those criminals are up to.

Give Hunt, AROS clan etc etc some cash if you want to do somthing serious or burn the money.

So the world may know!

Let them fold, let Hyperion (who have really been the ones supporting the Amiga) get the rights to the name Amiga.

Heck, If I had a cool couple million laying around, I'd buy the trademark and OS, and dump it violently into the public domain.

(Then I'd hire a reeealy good divorce lawyer and bodyuard, because although I've been known to blow alot on hobbies, THAT one would blow her mind :-P )

Instead of wild guesses, what about asking Fleecy about the status of the money they received from the club members?

Yes, let's all pay them to create something we then must pay for. That makes sense  :-o

I was stupid enough to send Amiga, Inc. my $50 for that "coupon".  Still haven't gotten squat back for it either, like everyone else.

Whatever your feelings about Amiga Inc. Have you considered the fact that they might actually be doing their best, in a difficult situation? Afterall they did find developers for AmigaOne and OS4, right? I think they should have a chance to clear their situation up and that we should be supportive about it. Not kick them in the head when they're already on the ground.

I do not claim to know what they're really up to but I think its unfair to judge them before knowing the real unmodified truth. Or am I wrong here?
