He won't, it's just more of the usual BS.

If BBRV's part of the show, I'm going and not looking back.

I don't like BBRV, never have never will, he's an arsehole as far as I'm concerned.

If he buys the rights to Amiga, then I'm going for good.


On his defense you have to know that all this begun as an ANN post accusing Genesi with TradeMark infringement.

Then it seems it backfired... BTW I don't believe that it will have serious impact or consequences, yet it's the joke of the month. :-) We'll see though.

No, actually BS is -

"Gary Hare? We don't know a Gary Hare. Oh, you mean GARRY Hare ... hmmm, he was just here a few minutes ago..."

- or -

"Someone hacked our phones"

"Everyone who claims the Amiga Inc offices are vacated is a vile FUDder"

"The check is in the mail, Bolton"

"We finally moved. You were wrong about it when you were saying it. But now it is true"

"It's just a few old crappy chairs and outdated computers we don't use any more"

"On schedule and rocking"

(please feel free to add to list)

...

So get real, you two! You've been swallowing BS and calling it honey. And vice versa.

Hey BSberg, send me your email and we will send you the confirmation from the USPTO!

:lol:

Amigans are Great!  Morons are Morons!

P.S. ...and anyone else that wants to see it!!!  We will alter it slightly to protect the application.

@greenboy

I thought all that Garry Hare stuff was bs aswell.

I'm not an A.Inc man, I'm sitting on the fence to see what's going to happen, but if BB's a main part of the Amiga's future, then I won't be here.

@Vincient

Silly, if you think about it there are certain A-Inc employees who have said things far worse than BBRV has ever said IMO.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

@red

True.  I don't like them either.

It's the personal attacks and general bs that's coming from BB AND A.Inc that's really pissing me off.  If A.Inc posted here, then I'd give them what for aswell.

And btw, I would leave here for good.  It's not worth staying just for Talk-about.

The name's Vincent btw ;-)

And what makes you think I believe any of that shyte?
I just happen to think that a certain person with a boing(?)butterfly avatar is even worse in the BS department.

@Vincent

You gotta do what you gotta do. Personally I think you should make product decisions based on the product, not the man behing the curtain;-) I happen to be typing this on a Pegasos-I which performs far better than my old frankenstein A3000-060 ever could.
I also still mantain a far amount of interest in OS4, even though I have lost all respect for Amiga Inc and it's management. Heck do you have a WintendoXP computer at home? Bill Gates is the biggest ^&&# of all, but I bet you own a Windows box at some time or other;-)

BTW: I'm a sloppy typist sorry for the name error :-o

It's not hard for your peg to be faster than a classic Amiga.

I've got a Win2k box here that's not mine.  And we have NEVER bought anything from M$.  I'm not going to buy anything from BBRV either.

I'm supporting Eyetech and Hyperion because they're doing some good work, ok it's all late, but they're dealing with A.Inc.

If it was just A.Inc doing the Amiga, then I would've left a while ago.

Yes. Rebranding a busted board and adding a buncha dollars to the price is real good work. Of course one might have to do that to accomodate the Value Subtracted Reseller (VSR) tax seen alternately as the Seehund Dongle ; }
