I was serious, so to rephrase, I dont understand what hiring original staff is going to achieve (I didn't specifically mention old people now), unless of course you want to make retro stuff, but having watched both videos I really dont understand what direction this is meant to go. The vision is that the modern world need a sort of reboot from before social media became invasive and so on, so how are they going to achieve that, that's pretty bold. On the other hand at least is owned buy someone who wants to do something, but from the info being give so far I have noe clue what that is going to be.

Not sure if you are joking or serious. I'm 52 and wouldn't choose myself as advisor on a tech startup, it has nothing to do with bigotry.

The way you have posted and how I have read it, is that you were serious. It does show a negative approach to those who are now working to bring back a great company. Unfortunately none of us can age backwards like Benjamin Button 😉

IMHO, It’s the best step forward.
What the new CEO is doing, is including those who worked so hard in the past another chance in redeeming a brand, that was brought o bankruptcy by those who hadn’t a clue how to run Commodore back in the day.
If it weren't for those who killed Commodore, then who knows what it could have achieved. Commodore could have been like Apple is today.

Can we have less bigotry please in these forums.

Ageism is the stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination against individuals or groups based on their age. It can manifest as negative attitudes, discriminatory practices, or systemic biases that affect people of all ages, though it is often associated with older adults

Moderators please attend to this.

Considering a thread on eab about the forecasted death of Hyperion, this old … thing… seems forgotten? Was it really 3.1.4 that “triggered” Cloanto, or was it perhaps this, and 3.1.4/3.2 was merely adding to injury? In addition, Hyperion has also been distributing OS 3.1 along with OS4 (and Cloanto at one point were allowed to distribute OS 4 with AmigaForever). Where’s all this in Malko’s timeline?

When 3.1.4 was released, Hyperion first claimed full ownership, copyright Hyperion, “All rights reserved”, but then swiftly changed it to “Developed under license”. Olsen claimed it was a mishap as a result of source code repo blabla, but a “mishap” that made it unnoticed all the way to the shipped floppy/kickstart labels? I find that very doubtful. Then there was this thing in the download-archive of 3.1.4, where the kickstart images existed both as .rom and as .bin for flashing to chips. The name of the folder for the .rom files was named “emulation_or_maprom”, which then was “corrected “ to "unsplit_unswapped”. What does all this indicate? Was Hyperion provoking Cloanto on purpose?

Bored are we? Holly thread resurrection Sheldon! 😳 this thread should have been kept in 2016… Move on!
