Since AInc bases it strategy on ACK "future" hardware, I wonder if anybody knows how Adam looks like, since there is no pictures, no website, no information at all.
How "big" is that company, where is located, can someone post pictures of it?
BTW, can anybody post picture of Amiga Inc headquarters (building, offices).
I am just curious how serioous this all story about reviving of Amiga is.
-
I'm also interested in pictures, especially in Ainc hq :-)
I suppose that ACK is a one person "company". Location can be Adam's home :-)
I would say that the whole reviving story is fake.
-
From past discussions over at AmigaWorld, as far as I am aware (and I am happy to be corrected), his company is just one person (him) and it is run from home.
Personally I don't feel that is particularly relevant - instead you should be worried about his (not very good) past track record of doing what he said he would. There is more than one incredibly long AmigaWorld thread on that topic...

@lovrenco
The ACK/Amiga project is complete fantasy.
The only way you will see an ACK machine running on your desk with OS4 (or OS5 a.k.a. AA2 - LOL!) is if you munch 100 magic mushrooms and wash them down with a pint of Absynth!
Amiga Inc is just pretending to be in the business of selling mediocre packaged mobile games whilst actually being a vehicle for Kouris' shady deals.

Out of curiosity, what has ACK ever produced in the past, in any context?
-
I assume the OP is after a picture of Adam himself? If so, look here:

Hot air.
A legion of believers who rounded on the OS4 for Open Pegasos supporters for being disloyal to teh only true Amiga Hardware Maker! :lol:

I have been in contact through email with Adam when I had IDE problems on my A1SE. I got from him a pre-release version of the ide driver that at that time worked better then the one in the released OS4.
greets,
Staf.

the son bill mcewan always wanted.... :lol:

I have actually met him during OAS 2004, when the microA1 was initially released. He had several boards for sale. Sadly I could not afford one at the time...

Here is a picture of Adam working on his most recently aquired piece of technolgy.

@ Methuselas
Now you've done it Methuselas, I,ve got nowhere to run now everone knows my secret. I think I,ll postpone 0S5 till OS7
reaches maturity :lol:

So ACK SC is "one man company". Does anybody have pictures of Amiga Inc headquarters ?
I think future of Amiga platform has few possible scenarios:
- Hyperion wins case and we have OS4 for new PPC boards
like SAM440)
- AInc wins case and we have "code leaking" for new PPC
boards (like SAM440) and working moana project
- AInc wins case and there is no "code leaking", but AROS
takes over
Biggest proffit with this situation could have Elbox with new PPC cards (I dont know why they wait).
But, this situation is not so "pink". If there are legal issues and no hardware around, there is no rapid development for the platform.
Without new software any platform is dead.
AInc shouuld think global. they should give license to any PPC hardware there is, monitor the situation with OS4 on market and develop modern aplications for it (like office, programming IDE-es and such).
If OS4 lives, than they could develop OS5, if not they prooved their point. With this policy they are "cutting branch on which they are sitting", because, If amiga as platform dies, who will ever want AmigaAnywhere?
New computer kids have never heard for Amiga so it is dificulut to think they will use AmigaAnywhere on theirs PDA-s.

So true, so true...

lovrenco,
I found this picture of Amiga Inc. headquarters:

Seriously though, in a satellite photograph of their address of about a year ago (via Google maps), they appear to be located in a small one-story office building in a commercial district. Not quite the trailer-in-a-pasture you probably expected, but nothing noteworthy either. If you want to try this trick today, you can probably get their most current maildrop address off of one of the court documents.
