Whatever your feelings about Amiga Inc. Have you considered the fact that they might actually be doing their best, in a difficult situation? Afterall they did find developers for AmigaOne and OS4, right? I think they should have a chance to clear their situation up and that we should be supportive about it. Not kick them in the head when they're already on the ground.

I do not claim to know what they're really up to but I think its unfair to judge them before knowing the real unmodified truth. Or am I wrong here?

@SilvrDrgn

I feel your pain.  They have $50 of mine too, with nothing to show for it.

@mepmepmep
When I get a t-shirt and a coupon, or my money back, then I *may* cut them some slack.  Even then, it's a "maybe" because they have had my $50 for a year now....  And, yes, you are wrong here. They are perfectly open to community judgement, Amiga Inc took people's money in a very "fly by night scam" way.  It is not unfair to be judgemental when you have been obviously wronged.
Regards,
Targhan

Cut them slack for causing their own problems?  Doing their best they might be, but that is no excuse in the end.  It is just the cause, namely that their best was not good enough.

They are with the myriad of companies that fail year after year.   But at least they admitted when they were beyond saving.  If Amiga, too, were to admit it, then my respect for them would rise a little, and would consider offering to help.  But I, personally, have tried to help them through business proposals and licensing attempts, and it went nowhere.  What is to make me think that they would accept my help now?

Been there.... Done that... Got the T... err...  no I won't go there...

Sorry, but I seriously doubt that people will do that again...

Anyone want a lifetime CAM membership ID?

Why am I under the impression that I'm never going to see the colour of my coupon?

Then they'd get less than they did for the coupons, and what happened to those?  Better to send the money to Hyperion and speed up OS4.

Anyone reasonable knows that Amiga, Inc. is on the way out.

What I want to do, is hold all the journalists who assured us that Amiga, Inc. did have funding and that they had insider knowledge that things were turning around, will be held accountable as liars.

I don't even have to hint at who they are, we know who they are.

Frankly I'm disturbed that anyone still has any belief in AInc. I had no idea that people still exist who think that they can help AInc by giving them handouts.

Can everyone send me a dollar instead?  I promise I'll put it to good use, and I'm quite a nice guy really!

Sorry to re-post my silly idea, but if Amiga Inc. is really in that bad a shape, let's all pool the $50 we ponied up for the CAM and buy teh company outright.  We can make AmigaOrg moderators teh new board members and all have input as shareholders!  Plus, I KNOW amiga.org's got tee-shirts already printed!

"What if Everyone Sent Amiga, Inc. a $1 ????"

Then they'd have either 6 billion or fifty dollars...  ;-)
