Just an educated guess, but I'd say "no". He reads the Amiga forums too, and I'm pretty certain he'll pick any potential business partners with a great deal more care after this, which means he won't get involved with any more dubious characters.

Couldn't resist... but still - is there any possible partners left then? :-)

Why would Meyer even consider developing for Amiga anymore?

You people treated him like SCUM.

I never treated Bernie like scum... I bought Amithlon back when it was legit...and I supported the dude... at least let people know who your talking to paul... as some of us supported and continue to support Bernie..

I boycott H&P for their actions.

I will rephrase that as people think it is pointed to people in this thread,

Meyer made a good Amiga product but "Some" members of the Amiga community have treated Meyer like SCUM (including H&P),

Would you develop for a platform where people shove knives in your back? i certainly would not.

@Wilse

No, i think Amithlon is a superb product destroyed by people who should NOT be supported.

Babylon 5: Wonderful memories.

I'm looking forward to season two coming out on DVD at the end of April.  It's just too bad that in the season one featurette, JMS mistook the Amiga as the Atari when mentioning what computer was used to make season one.

Unfortunately, there are backstabbers on ALL computer platforms.  Even MorphOS.  Well, okay, I suppose there aren't any on the Sinclair ... anymore. :-P

Maybe his latest experiences with the Amiga have been traumatizing - to say the least - but he'll bounce back because he still has a following.  While I personally wasn't interested in Amithlon or AmigaXL for that matter (I'll never own a "PC"), I have seen it in action at several local user group meetings.  I was impressed with it and was hoping for a Mac version one day.

"Pretty shark"

Just so happens I'm wearing a B5 t-shirt now. Didn't know about DVD either, as my grandfather would have said "Cool!".

Yep, season 2 of B5 is out on the 29th of April in Canada and the US.  JMS mentioned it on usenet a while back.  I'm not a big fan of Amazon, but they have it listed for pre-orders.  Here's the link:

Babylon 5 - Season Two on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000087EYB/qid=1044638331/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-6890426-9213745?v=glance&s=dvd)

I'm sure as we get closer to April, more stores will have it listed on their computers.  HMV and Future Shop up here in Canada tend to have lists a month ahead of time.  Anyways, good luck!
