Who'd a-thunk it?

Nice to see that something is finally happening..

:-o What we'll find next!? Life on Mars!? :-D

From what little I've seen, heard and experienced from KMOS they seem commited and focused.
Although it's not their table to "fix" A.Inc's mess with the t-shirts and coupons they seem to try work it out for the better which show that they're not just here to take the IP and run but aim for a good future together with the current commnuity.
I actually have a good feeling about this for once... often I just sitt with my classic machines and cherish what I have but this is the first time I realy belive that something good will come of all the "fuzz" lately. :-D

Maybe, just maybe, I can now get that refund I've been after for the last year and a half. If I'd left that in the bank it's be worth $54.96 now. On second thoughts, how much would an exremely rare, 2-years-in-the-making, Club Amiga T-Shirt and virtual OS4 coupon fetch on Ebay...?
-
@Lando,
With the right wording a cool $549.60 ;-).. I'm sure you can come up with some of the TV shopping style marketing hype wording..
-
Cool looks like this is being taken light heartedly, so let me take a shot at humor.
Maybee the tee-shirt will say I was fleeced! :-D
-
@ Red,
Showing a little blue there ?
:lol:

Naah just trying to show a little humor. Don't forget, I was one of the biggest cheerleaders during the coupon drive.

@Red,
Just pulling your pink legs.. (Well, looking at your avatar I guess they're pink..) :-D
Where's wayne when we're having fun ??

He-he
How about 'I was fleeced with intent and all I've got to show for it is this louzy T-shirt'
:lol:

Well not really, you just had no other choice :-D

Wow, it seems we've found a new measure as to how determine a successful company. It's no longer important if one can keep a tech-startup alive in a market where all tech stocks (and most startups) have tanked, but can you print off a few T_Shirts for a few zealots! Oh well, at least now this issue too can be forgotten like a bad dream...
edit: That was mostly tongue in cheek, no need for a flame war to ensue....

It's a good incentive, methinks. They/he seem intent on rebuilding the community's trust, whatever good that'll do them. ;-)
While I have something of a suspicion that the t-shirt issue will have little to do with whether or not they're successful in the long run (du-uh), I'd say it's a good first impression to make.
Now, a few more suggestions for the text:
"I'm not the new Amiga Inc. CEO - it just says so on my businesscard"
"This is what a $50 t-shirt looks like"
"Clothing, Apparel, Merchandise"
"2 years in the making"
"Putting a thousand monkeys on sewing machines may eventually produce a few t-shirts but it's not something you're going to want to wait around for, and you don't want to be responsible for cleaning up the mess in the meantime."
-
Petition for the company, in a popularity drive, to rename themselves K. Moss, and pretend they are endorsed by some supermodel.
Hey, it's a smooth transition...and a lame joke.
-
@The_Power_of_the_Ginger
I think Garry said it's K "mose" insted of "moss". I wonder if that's so we don't think it's an F. Moss inspired name. :-)
(I don't really wonder :-P, because I'm quite sure it's not the case.)
-
So, just a very posh way of saying K. Moss then, just the way she'd like it.
I don't care what this company does now, it's delivered on a promise inherited from the previous company, and that's very generous. T-shirts for everyone (who paid $50)!
And hopefully we no longer have the American equivalent of Only Fools and Horses, with Bill and Fleecy Trotter going round ain a 3-wheeled van flogging dodgy Amigas and Software Development Kits.
We'll all look back on it and laugh someday. :-D
