The people that work for Amiga Inc are very very bright people, they may not be business geniuses by a long way but there is an awful lot of this that is not of their own making from what I have found out.


Hmmm....

"The Amiga as a platform is dead."

Sometimes I just have to cry myself to sleep.

Amiga Inc. starts to feel more and more like some kind of fraud underground company and IMHO the Amiga IP would be better off in the hands of a joint venture between Eyetech and Hyperion - at least we know that these companies exist ;-)



Exactly what I've been saying all along...  :-(

Apparently Bill McEwen did turn up at court that weekend, which more than adequately explains why he was not at Amiwest.

He knew about the court date a long time before he announced his attendance, but if I recall correctly before he lost the Bolton Peck case.

Moving onto the jeopardy, who knows what that meant: but he has been ordered to pay some thousands of dollars in one court case (as above), so one can only assume he went to court in order to make sure he had a chance of putting his side across, and not putting himself in more *financial* jeopardy.

Being ordered by a court that you owe more money than most Americans earn in a year would be, in my mind, jeopardy enough to try not to have it happen again, wouldn't you say?

I would please ask people to leave the guy alone now. I'm sure he has been through enough, and if it happened to you, you would not want it being dragged around the world as rumours and conjecture.

This isn't Enron, this isn't Iraq, this is one guy's life you're muddying, for no reason other than your own amusement, and I think that's sickening enough.


Well, frankly, I don't care about Mr McEwan. I do care that a company he owns(?)/runs(?) has locked out a Tradmark that should be owned by a more worth while company.


BTW, Who/what is "Genesi UK"?

Perhaps the next step would be to understand how the warm fuzzies could be translated into working together strategically to capture market share and revenue.

With all the sniping and ill will that's gone on over the last few years, it's clear that few people have had the business savvy or common sense to understand that we're fighting an uphill battle here and it's not between Genesi and Hyperion. A lot of talent, time and money is being invested trying to one-up the Joneses.

The Linux world has changed the way we look at operating systems. Give away the basic tools and charge for hardware, applications and services. Where is the Amiga market segment? Arguing over which memory segmentation algorithm is better for lines and boxes demos.

Use this as an opportunity. Cooperate. Compete. For all of us.
