Club Amiga Monthly, May has been released

[Herewegoagain]

ok, thanks for the effort. It all seems strange... I do hope you can get to the truth here so that we can for once and for ever put this behind.

Why bother?  Because just as soon as this is settled the same old crew will come around with a new twist to the "let's bash Amiga club".   It's a never ending soap with them and that's the way they like it.

I'd say it is pretty on topic. According to what I've heard, the Amiga Newsletter has a contest in it (I can only imagine what the prize must be to help perpetuate what is truly FUD). The contest of course does involve BUSINESS CARDs if what has been said about it is correct, and intimates certain attitudes about recent contentions of who has claims on the title of CEO at Amiga Inc.

So Bolton Peck's statement,

"...Yesterday, (april 30, 2003) Bill McEwen told my attorney under oath that he's no longer CEO of Amiga, Incorporated. 50 percent of the company is in fact owned by a Dutch consortium, or so Bill said under oath. That came out of HIS MOUTH..."

has direct relevance to the CEO "controversy" - and thus the business cards that have been mentioned - and thus the attempt at spin the CAM newsletter imparts with its business card contest.

Perhaps that little contest wasn't such a good idea after all. Putting such content next to the published work of others is bound to have effects - although in this case probably not the ones that were intended by the publisher...

Here's another oldie that never made the newsletter hit parade.

Got to watch out for stuck records; it often indicates the stylus or tone arm is screwed up. Sometimes even the turntable itself.

Some years back I made a concious decision to ignore you completely, but this post I have to agree with 110%.

I'll sign up for 50 Japanese Yen anyday.

>Better check with those sources of yours again.

Hm, page 5 CAM May 2003:

"The recent upsurge of interest in business cards
has prompted CAM to organize its first competition,
for which we will award the valuable Pull-
the_other_one-itzer prize.

The Pull-the_other_one-itzer prize will take the form
of a framed version of the winning entry signed by
whoever happens to be CEO at the time."

Personally that card thing is just very funny to me. Its that sort of not being super-duper-serious-business-like-ness. That is something I miss from software companies from a while back... anyhow Amiga Incorporated are handling all of this probably the worst way I could think of, its true, all they need to say is a copuple of htings and all of these threads will be dust. But they don't ,why? Are they that stupid, or is this stuff true? If they're that stupid, well, Commodore was pretty good at marketing right? ARG AARGH ARGH

I have actually given 50$ to Amiga Inc. to produce* this OS4,

You do know that AInc aren't the ones developing OS4 ?

You also know that the money DID NOT go to Hyperion ?

so I think I'm very entitled to some more in-depth information than someone who hasn't paid Amiga Inc to get OS4, since they have nothing to loose. I'm sure everbody will get to know when it's out.

Sure, nice, just not very sensible.
Most of those who might be interested in buying OS4 have NOT
bought a coupon. Withholding (positive) information from those
is only helping the competition.
