I guess *a lot* of people have *a lot* of questions to ask Mr Bill McEwen, President/CEO Amiga, Inc. The AmiWest show would be a golden opportunity (He IS coming, right?).
If *you* had a chance, what questions would you like to ask him?
Perhaps someone could forward some questions to him at the show?

-
Sacramento is a 6 hour drive for me.
-should i pack my bong and go?
-whats (not) there for me to purchase from the booths? :-P

Shouldn't that question be pointed at virtually every Amiga-related company on the planet? There's precious few that haven't lied about one thing or another.

Bolton will be there. I'd pay just to see Bill's reaction to his questioning!
//R?/
-
I wouldn't put my money on the fact that he'll be there.

Imagine the money you could make selling a Video of the current Amiga Inc. management being publicly flogged...
I'd still rather watch Mehdi Ali being publicly castrated with a rusty spade though... :-D Still we can all dream. :-P

You know the hit'll be delivered on time. ;-)

The topic of the thread is questions for Mr McEwen, not questions for "virtually every Amiga-related company on the planet".
You're a moderator mikey, you should know better than to take a thread off topic! ;-)

I think that the only reason for putting thats on Amiga.com was to let us know that Bill McEwen is still the CEO ... I'll bet you a pint that Bill will not be there.

My question for Bill would be:
What is the exact relation between Amiga and Microsoft ?

@ kees ... purely sexual? :-D

I gamble occasionally and don't mind picking a longshot. This is one longshot I would not pick, no matter what the line was.

@red
Humorously, I think he'll be there somehow or another, but I also believe other people who've said that there will be process servers waiting on him to serve more legal papers.
Realizing that the Amiga community has not heard one single peep from McEwen for almost a solid year, it will be interesting to see if he does indeed show up and what he would POSSIBLY have to say...
At one time, I was thinking he'd show up to announce his "retirement" and the CEO changeover, but I can't possibly think of anything that Bill McEwen would have to say to the community that wasn't his usual "Things are rockin' -- by the way, I'm sorry for all the broken promises over the last 3 years, but really, it's not our fault...".
Maybe he'll show up with the t-shirts... :-P :-P You never know.
Again, I just hope he's not the only person slated to speak at the banquet and I wish the AmiWest crew would at least announce the speakers. I won't buy a banquet ticket until I know who's going to be speaking.

If its one thing i dislike about the fornightly questions to fleecy its that most of them can be answerd by asking the a few people and by doing a little research. Im not totaly sure about this question but i'll have a shot.
MS market Amiga Anywhere games. MS much like what Amgia are to DE games developers MS is to Amiga.
Amiga helps developers have their content developed recognised on the AmigaDE platform and MS helps amiga have its content run and recognised on MS platforms. Because of this, Amiga gets a cut of the revenues and so does MS.
MS is simply putting some marketing muscle behind the AmigaDE titles to help their platform and to take a biut of the revenue.

He'll be there, walzing in, hand in hand with Garry :-D
