Title: Former Netscape Executive Gives Amizilla A Boost
Post by: Calen on December 18, 2003, 05:37:41 PM: A former Netscape Executive who wishes to remain annoymous has donated a whopping $2000 to the Amizilla project.

This brings the AmiZilla Booty to $6205.61!

It seems the big donater is a long term Amiga user who still uses WinUAE and VideoToaster Flyer.

Post by: lempkee on December 18, 2003, 09:18:02 PM: this is just fantastic, lets hope someone will be encouraged to make something then, imho not much have happened since the bounty was first started..

anyway i want to say that the guys who are working on this should step out into the light and shear some info, so that we know our money is still worthwile..

more will be donated (been planned since june 2003) as soon as we see some sort of progress.

cheers

I Just had a thought... What if it was Bill Gates that made this gesture... I mean, $2k is nothing to this guy. He could do something just to rub us up the wrong way :-D :-D :-D :-D

I doubt it is but it made me laugh anyway.

Post by: ne_one on December 19, 2003, 07:18:47 PM: Has Genesi ever indicated their standpoint on this issue? Clearly both platforms desperately need mainstream applications and the technology is so closely shared it makes sense to pool resources where mutual benefit is the outcome.
Title: Re: Former Netscape Executive Gives Amizilla A Boost
Post by: Kronos on December 19, 2003, 07:36:06 PM: AFAIR they (Genesi) did give some $$$, while Ainc, claimed to
have something better up their sleeves (yeah, sure ...).
Title: Re: Former Netscape Executive Gives Amizilla A Boost
Post by: Pyromania on December 20, 2003, 04:57:07 AM: Genesi wanted to match the booty several months ago but never did. Now I am afraid they will not be able to afford it. The former Netscape Executive changed his mind about donating $2000, now instead he wanted to match the original booty amount before his bid ($4205.61). Now because of his revised donation the booty is over $8400. His only request is that he wants to see the amount get over $10,000 so is requesting others donate what they can. He has done more than his share that is for sure. $10,000 is a good idea and a nice milestone to aim for but AmiZilla will need your help to get there. Could someone submit this news to www.slashdot.org please. It is very newsworthy.
