Amiga Inc note to dealers

[takemehomegrandma]

@Fransexy

According to the mail itself, it´s secret information and posting it here are illegal (unless you got permission from Amiga inc later)

Sorry, but that's nonsense. It may have been unethical at best...

[Ratte]

That could well be part of it.
Why else would they be asking dealers for "possible advertisements or promotional materials ", and proof that machines were sold during that era if it wasn't for asserting ownership of a trademark ?
It'd also explain why Amiga Inc have suddenly made themselves look active over the last few weeks with the 'please ask me 20 questions' and the 'pre-announcement of a forthcoming announcement'

Bill had the chance to produce new hard-and software sales by himself.
There are people looking for new ROMs and they are willing to buy them.
But it seems to be, that Bill missed this chance.
 :lol:

Ah, found it. It was in Amiwest 2002, the transcript is here (post #65) http://www.ann.lu/comments2.cgi?view=1061210784&category=forum&start=51

"We have a situation creating an Amiga museum, with a lot of hardware that was ours that we owned that was in Germany. We went to go get it. The warehouse was empty. Pallets and pallets of our product had been stolen. Now, we know who has it, we're not gonna... that's... we're not here to point fingers or names or let people know, we even know where it is."

logisticcenter braunschweig in trouble (sorry, its in german)
at the same time a german distributer "lost" 40.000 hp-printer in the same warehouse.
i think the thievs took a palette amigas by a mistake ...
 :crazy:

This email is meaningless.

Think of my surprise when I learned that all of our inventory was sold for $75,000.00 to a company in India, when we were generating more than that on a monthly basis.

[conspiracy theory on]
What was the name of the company in india that bought all AMIGA stock? Maybe Ruksun, now known as AMIGA Development India? We know the game... :lol:
[conspiracy theory off]

And i think they took the HP Printers as a cover up for stealing the last made AMIGA's  :lol:

[Tripitaka]

LOL! The koaftder tells it how it is!
It's only words 'till the silicon is in our hands.
I just hope it works out this time. :roll:

Why is everyone so damn interested in how their management works company politics etc ... its all a bunch off assumption .. no one here knows and why do we care to guess ? Why do we care for what this company has done in the past ? Or may be doing now? if we don't like it just don't care about it or involve your self in it ... People always like too complain and {bleep} about things but never seems to be part of any negativity at all .. Me i just sit here and watch the show.. If there will be new hardware etc good but if there wont there wont ..I will accept that nothing i can do about it .. No need too complain or assume ... My opinion though.. Just every time i see xx number of people complain and but why do you all care .. OK you may want AMIGA to overtake the PC and windows and such in the computer world .. it will never be so .. just accept it and enjoy whatever you may have or get if anything...

[a-pex]

I think maybe AMIGA has to show some kinds of proofs  that they used the brand AMIGA in the hardware section? Maybe another company is trying to get the name or so... maybe. ;-)

The suddenly activity on the side of Amiga Inc. in the amiga market looks strange for me. :-)

@koaftfer

that's what you say about all emails.

Come-Monday

[Agafaster]

damn! knew I shoulda logged in over the weekend !
but the weather was too nice, we had a barbie, and well, one led to another, and I was too p!ssed to operate a computer !

[Starrunner]

On the subject of this announcement, I am curious indeed.  Having heard or heard of the crap spewed forth by Amiga Inc., and been honoured by a replay from Bill McEwen once when I asked a direct question, I am very curious indeed about this.  The asking for records is very curious indeed.  Not something I have ever heard of in my silly travels.

Maybe this is all a grand hoax?  Either way I can't wait for Monday now.

Somebody in one of the myraid of comments said it best:  Hope for the best...but be prepared for the worst.

[DanDude]

Finally some news to think about!   :-)
