If you don't mind of giving an unprofessional impression of you and MorphOS as well.
I don't think I'm being unprofessional here (but I certainly have been on some occasions). Going on spreading misinformation and lies would be. Also I consider going to the bottom of things to be professional. Leaving some matter unsolved or dangling in the air is unprofessional. So I would really like to know how I have supposedly spammed OS4 threads in order to promote MorphOS.

BTW who is managing Hyperion now?

By saying this you are implying that someone at some stage was managing Hyperion. No seriously, monkeys could do a better job of managing Hyperion than it has previously been managed.

Who or what Evert Carton (odd name !!!) is or was ...

This is what came to mind when I saw the name the first time:

Evert - transitive verb: overthrow, upset


Carton - noun: a box or container usually made of cardboard and often of corrugated cardboard

Evert is best remembered for referring to AROS as "probably illegal".

That's not what I know him for. I don't know if he did or did not say that, but I think that other things he'd done/said are far more memorable to me than your maybe AROS thing.


Such as...?

Most likely Ben Hermans, but that is just a guess.

According to the usual crowd of conspiracy theorists, he is evidently the canary in the coalmine heralding the end of AInc, Hyperion et al.  Now the world will be free for MorphOS and CUSA to bring us gently into a new era of bliss and gratification.

Yes, but if I browse through my MorphOS setup (startup's etc.) I'll find - of course - stuff like "Kickstart" or "Workbench" all over, which is needed for backwards compability. Both names are copyrighted, though. Same is/might be true for AROS. Does ReactOS have a "windows32.dll" (or similar)? :-)


You can't copyright a name. You can trademark it. However, trademarking a name does not prevent all use of it, just (in general terms) marketing usage and usage that might cause consumer confusion with the trademarked product.

Well, I understood it to mean "overthrow all cardboard packaging", but essentially, yes...

So let me get this right now... Everad Cartoon Maker The 3rd or whatever he/she/it or whats'is'name is has retarded from Hyperion for whom he/she/it/what worked for a wee while but never owned or used an Amiga or had any interest in the Amiga... :confused:

So what did Englbert Carboardboxpacker actually do at Hypreion ??? perhaps he/she/it/what was in charge of recycling packaging or summit, or maybe he/she/it/what was the Janitor or even the Janitors cat... :)

All I can figure out is he/she/it/what (and I mean Eglleburgle Candynosenoamiga) is now out of a job, wonder if he/she/it/what could get a job at "they who shall not be mentioned's" place doing nothing there as he/she/it/what may not have any interest in their products either and he/she/it/what could do the same type of work (or lack of it) that he/she/it/what did or never did at Hyperion... :)

That's my take on this sad little story anywhoo... :)

Now who fancies a cuppa n some shortbread... :)

PS: Does anyone have a spare spare that I could borrow, I seem to have misplaced mine somewhere... :D

Evert was the sales manager for quite some time. Keep in mind that Hyperion was a game republishing company for a few years before they got involved with OS4.
