Hyperion takes bat, swings for McBill's head!

SO basically Hyperion thinks because AI went bankrupt in WA they can take over AmigaOS and call it their own?  That is BS...

Does this all mean Amiga Inc cannot release AmigaOS 4.x until this is resolved?  This can take years!  But hey for Amigans who cares right? We can be running AmigaOS 4 on a 800MHz G4 in 2012 and be just as happy as we are running OS 3.9 on a A1200 with 030 now!!  Yeah right! :banana:

they don't just think so there contracts states that it is so...either way it does not matter much, in the end things will be better if AI looses, they have been dead weight for a long time now.

Wow. They acutally did it. They implied they would, but I didn't think they'd go through with it. Kudos to Hyperion for that one. The fact that they brought up the coupon sh!t, means they actually INTEND to do something *FOR* the Amiga, rather than for themselves.

 :-o

Kids, for all the bad press, these guys, unlike AI, seem like they want to be taken seriously and are legit.

I hope they win.

AI knows they're screwed.  Why else would they (or Itec at least) send the $25k check only 7 days ago?   :laugh:  

BTW, I'm not a big fan of Hyperion, but I'd rather see a company that can actually do something for the community come out ahead.

and Bill's head splits open like a ripe watermelon. looks like AInc is in deep sheet as they're desperate enough to send checks around ...

[TjLaZer]

$25K was just sent to Hyperion a week ago?  I thought it was already paid from before?

I am actually rooting for Hyperion.  I mean come on what has Amiga done for us in the last oh I don't know (when did Billy acquire it?) what 6 yrs or so.  Well they obviously raised good money from the coupon BS and have what just recently put up plans for an overpriced POS machine, that hey what happened to the update on that (what 2 months ago supposedly).  And how about that ACK company (or one man show whatever), it was just another scheme by AINC to try to get us hyped up about nothing ...again.  If Hyperion wins at least there is a company that shows it gives a damn somewhat about the Amiga instead of dragging its name in the dirt for their own personal gain.  Go Hyperion hell with Bill McEwen, Fleecy and all the other idiots we been stuck with.  Man I wish Petro was running things, he was an awesome dude (well still is).  Anyways cheers and good luck to Hyperion.

@Amigakid

I Agree with you about that, AINC has been the obstruction to Amiga OS development for years now, the only thing AINC did in my eyes is damaging the Amiga OS over the past years.

Hyperion at least did develop OS4 and if Hyperion get's all rights to Amiga OS including the name for only the OS.
I think this actually will be a good thing.

The only reason i think AINC is doing this whole legal action is TAO being sold to another comapny and leaving AINC with what ?!?
The last thing left out there is os4 for AINC, and is trying to get that back by "trademark blah blah blah"

I hope AINC disappears never to been seen again. :madashell:

And what a good swing they have! :-D

Then there is the issue of Hyperion accepting the $25K as apart of the OS4 buy back and failing to produce the source code and object code.

Didn't you read the documents?

On page 6 of 19, paragraph 27 (line 9), the document states:

"Hyperion rejected ITEC's efforts to exercise rights under the agreement and returned the $25.000 check."

Still any questions?

Funny that Itec/AI would think they would be stupid enough to accept the check after bringing them to court.   :crazy:

Offcourse they knew the check would come back, but what if the judge finds, that the OS was infact finished late last year, and that the old payments weren't for the buyback ?

Well now Itec could still say "we send them a check within 6 months".
