What follows is an e-mail received from Bill McEwen, CEO, Amiga Inc addressed to all Amiga dealers in regards to preparations for release of the newly announced Amiga computers.
While we don't normally print e-mails, this was sent via the Press mailing list, so one can only presume it was intended for public dissemination.
Hello Amiga Dealers:
As mentioned in the press release we are in the final stages with the design of new hardware and getting them into production. Something that will be different than what happened with the AmigaOne is that we will be purchasing these new machines in the more than 1,000 units per order. This will allow us to get better pricing and quality for all of you. The specs for the sub 500.00 machines will be out on Monday and the more expensive machine the following week. Production will begin soon and they will be ready this summer. More details and final specs and timing will follow.
On another note, we have had a very strange request about sales that
occurred from 1996 through 2000 regarding Amiga computers. Now I understand based on the documentation that we have here that the machines were purchased primarily from Petro at Amiga International.
What I need to know is how many of you would still have copies of invoices or other documentation that shows you purchasing this hardware and any all possible advertisements or promotional materials that you may have received at this time. We seem to have an issue with regard to the actual facts that machines were purchased during those years, and we are limited in the materials that we have here for those years. If you have any information or documents that meet this criteria then please let me know as soon as possible.

"This message is intended only for the addressees clearly indicated as intended recipients" sounds questionable to me whether this should be public.
-
We seem to have an issue with regard to the actual facts that machines were purchased during those years, and we are limited in the materials that we have here for those years. If you have any information or documents that meet this criteria then please let me know as soon as possible
At the same time this part leads me to beleive they have little info about old distributorships and are hoping to reach as many parties as possible to recreate the database. If it was released through press channels, then I would think it's for public consumption.
BTW.... some body pinch me. I think the blue pill I took when I entered Amiga Land is wearing off a bit.

Interesting indeed. :-)
-
Anyone want to speculate on what the specs for these machines are?
Low end...
High end...
Basically the same as the PowerVixxen designs?
OS4 already smokes on a 750GX 800Mhz cpu...I can only imagine what it will be like on these beasts :)
-
LOL...!
-
OS4 already smokes on a 750GX 800Mhz cpu
Given the "quality" of the original Amiga One branded Teron systems, that's probably not the OS that's causing the smoke.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Quality or no quality, my A1XE is now over 4 years old, running 24/7 and still running. ;-)
-
On another note, we have had a very strange request about sales that
occurred from 1996 through 2000 regarding Amiga computers.
There's something very, very fishy about that request.
-

Somehow, I hate getting all excited again and it be nothing.
Oh well, here is expecting the worst but hoping for the best. :inquisitive:
-
This looks suspiciously like they are doing something. Something related to OS 4.0 and hardware. Bizzare.
Still we haven't seen the hardware yet. Much less the hardware running OS 4.0.
Well, Monday looks to be busy here with release of the low end specs. An we complain when we don't heard anything from them.
-
:-o
Is this real?
-
Is this real?
Well, at least the phone number is real.
I went through the phone tree and entered "6,2" for M and C (first 2 letters of the last name of the person you want) and I got to hear Bill McEwen's voice. :-D
No I didn't leave a message, but I might if I can think of something clever! :idea:
-
Wow. Looks like someone finally hit him with a clue-by-four. Next week should be interesting.
-
"While we don't normally print e-mails, this was sent via the Press mailing list, so one can only presume it was intended for public dissemination."
It never occured to you that this may have been posted to some "press mailing list" by mistake while it could have been meant for the top secret "dealer mailing list" and obviously you haven't dared to ask mcbill if that's the case...
First the public vote on 20 q's with mcbill nobody wanted and now this poor, sad and cheap stuff that is so obviously made up it's unbelievable (how stupid do you think the remaining Amiga Users are? :-))
If AInc just needs publicity or has to ask weirdo questions in public then why not just be so honest and do just this without the crazy back story nobody wants to know about.
-
This strange request of invoices and advertising materials is caused by "city of Kent affair". As we all know Amiga Inc. signed an multimillion dollar agreement for naming of an Event Center (yet to be built) in Kent. Then it turned out that Kent officials have no knowledge about Amiga Inc. business history (read the story (http://www.topix.net/forum/city/kent-wa/T6TE3BB2QIOPAK8OT)). It seems that they decided to verify their business partner track records. Then Amiga Inc. is in a desperate need of proofs, that they are a reasonable and healthy copmany selling products and generating any profit.
-
Really? if that's the case then the Kent city officials are literally looking a gift horse in the mouth. Asking for ten year old financial records from a company that's offering to give you hundreds of thousands of $$$ doesn't sound too smart to me.
-
@CodeSmith
It is not that Kent gets something for free. The Event Center is yet to be built and funds need to be secured for it. If you sign an agreement about sponsoring, you want to know, if you really get the money, because you may not be able to finish the building otherwise. Also note that this event center is in large part financed by the city of Kent and state government. Then having someone using debatable business practices as one of main sponsors may harm the whole thing.
-
@Krashan
I guess it could be that, although I would imagine all this would have been sorted out before the agreement was signed. My theory is that they're trying to track down all those A1200s that got sold from under them at way below cost. I remember Bill McEwen at some Amiga show saying something like "we know who you are and we're coming to get you", but nothing happened. Maybe they didn't have proof back then, and now that they have the money they've decided to pursue the guilty parties?

WTF was that all about, I don't remember I heard about that, where can I read up on this.Is it on the Amiga History site ?
-
There's something very, very fishy about that request.
Krashan's assesment seems very insightful.
Another less likely possibility... an investor wanting to see some sales numbers before chipping in for the manufacturing of a large quantity of boards? No need buying 25,000 system if they're going to sit on a shelf. I'm not sure how 10 year old sales data would be alot of help today though.

without the crazy back story nobody wants to know about.
That would suck all the entertainment value right out of it for me. :-)

Thats pretty funny. Going after Petro who was the only one actually managed to do something for Amiga. What Bill should do is stick his head back to his arse and continue as these past weeks never happened :-)

@Manu
Ah, found it. It was in Amiwest 2002, the transcript is here (post #65) http://www.ann.lu/comments2.cgi?view=1061210784&category=forum&start=51
"We have a situation creating an Amiga museum, with a lot of hardware that was ours that we owned that was in Germany. We went to go get it. The warehouse was empty. Pallets and pallets of our product had been stolen. Now, we know who has it, we're not gonna... that's... we're not here to point fingers or names or let people know, we even know where it is."
-
@hooligan
I don't see anyone accusing Petro. But the people who were doing business with Petro would be the best place to start looking, since they would have been the biggest Amiga dealers of the day and so the best place to find a "fence".
-
@Codesmith
To me it feels like they are trying to dig what was going on back then, Petros activies. Wouldnt it be great if the conners got conned :-)
-
@B00tDisk
My A1 is the fastest and more stable Amiga i ever had.
-
@hooligan
Ahh, whatever. I'm too old for this daytime drama sh*t. All I care about is what gets announced on Monday :-)
-
According to the mail itself, it´s secret information and posting it here are illegal (unless you got permission from Amiga inc later)
-
If it has been sent to the press then it is inevitable that the details would be posted. It doesn't do Amiga Inc any harm, the rather neglected group of Amiga dealers should now be aware that hardware could be coming from Amiga Inc (or their partners). Clearly, dealers not on their mailing list should contact Amiga Inc.

Fransexy:
It's never illegal to post anything like this unless you are
forced to keep your mouth shut due to law. In other words;
doctors, shrinks, priests, etc..
If you sign an NDA with some company it's not illegal to
break it. It's just a violation of contract and if it would
ever go to court it's just a civil case.
Somehow, I doubt Wayne has signed an NDA with Amiga Inc..
-
That last paragraph sound like the words of a true, greedy, megalomaniac.
Anyhow...
...Monday, they say, this summer they say?
Exciting! Lets see if it happens, and if it's worth is, and if it's really only $500.
-
Either they want to find out how many A1200 are still out there to see if it is worthwhile to produce a Powervixxen addon (assuming that they realy plan to do anything) or the friendly tax officer came over for tee and wanted to have a look at the books.
But wait, after all this selling of the campany and changing names they claim to have nothing to do with the "old" Amiga Inc. So why do they care about sales of this "totally different" company they have nothing to do with......
-
IMHO this smells quite a fishy... And it's not even a fresh one.
And yeah.. one specific comment, considering the better pricing and quality
. I do hope that *if* they ever get any more hardware done (or made with some associates) they had learned even a bit and would test the goods before selling them.
-
@Lemmink
... and in this case it would actually be a different company (GateWay-Amiga that is).
-
Woohoo!! Come on Monday! I guess that'll be 8 hours behind us Brits so if anything gets announced it'll be late in the day for us but whats a few more hours waiting to find something out? :-D
Not gonna comment on whether or not it happens of course :crazy:
Andy
-
1000 units per order... So one order should just about cover the market then...
Hmmm... if the 100%, 100% mark up applies here (as it does in most other markets). The dealers will be expected to pay at least half the MSP (RRP...)... so each dealer is going to have to pay $250000? I just don't see that happening...
-
@Plaz:
Krashan's assesment seems very insightful.
Here's another theory:
They recently (re)registered the Amiga Trademarks in various places, using an old Commodore modem (!) to prove that they're actually distributing products using the "Amiga" marks.
Perhaps somebody is questioning that they're entitled to own these trademarks.
-
Quality or no quality, my A1XE is now over 4 years old, running 24/7 and still running. ;-)
Mine is over 3 years now, and, as yours, running 24/7 without a glitch.
Saluditos,
Ferrán.

http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=46682
Amiga set forth in 2000 with plans of forever changing computing and the landscape by creating a series of products that would guide us through the launch and creation of a new operating system that we could all be proud of. A portion of the Amiga operational budget came from the sale of the existing Amiga hardware and operations and we expected those revenues to help us stretch the initial funding so that we had time to properly get to the second round of funding for Amiga which was always planned. Think of my surprise when I learned that all of our inventory was sold for $75,000.00 to a company in India, when we were generating more than that on a monthly basis. This created a big operational hole for the company and caused us great harm in our ability to move forward. This hardware was not even put up for bid or auction, and nobody was consulted in the process.

Sorry for me asking, but can You perhaps explain the quoted content in a little easier to understand wording ? I don't think my english is good enough to fully understand.

At last! Couldn't wait any longer for the new season of Amiga Lost. Gonna be an exciting one!

I can not. It is Bill's quote and only he can explain it further.
I only included it to show the tie to what @CodeSmith was talking about in his link.

@GGS
Basicly he wants us to believe that selling NOS-A1200 generated more than 75.000 per month (hmm how much would the dealer-price for a Magic-A1200 be ? And how many has one to sell to reach such numbers ?), and that someone (clearly hinting at Petro) sold the whole lot for 75000.
Not a very plausible story ....
-
number6,
Okidok ! No problem.

If all of the inventory was stolen there was perhaps no invoice created ?
-
The thing is, what are you going to do with a few hundred A1200s other than sell them? Seeing all those old invoices will give them a good idea of who all the dealers were at the time, and maybe figure out who ended up buying the stolen ones (if company X only bought 10 A1200s from Petro and Amiga Inc have discovered they sold 100 to the public, where did the other 90 come from?)

That could well be part of it.
Why else would they be asking dealers for "possible advertisements or promotional materials ", and proof that machines were sold during that era if it wasn't for asserting ownership of a trademark ?
It'd also explain why Amiga Inc have suddenly made themselves look active over the last few weeks with the 'please ask me 20 questions' and the 'pre-announcement of a forthcoming announcement'

CodeSmith,
Sounds as very complicated.

My A1 is the fastest and more stable Amiga i ever had.
Yeah?
How's the DMA? How about USB? Onboard sound? Underclocking your CPU?
-
Petro got hand of atleast ALL of the museum computers and they where showcased somewhere in Europe by Genesi at some point, this is years back and I don't remember much about the other warehouse stock.
Clearly Amiga wants to know what actually happened to this stock and sue whoever stole it. I think Petro might be in trouble!
Have to check my email and ANN
(if thats still up?) to find the dates.
-
Kronos,
Let's see if we can get this straight ?
They thought they bought a warehouse filled up with goods.
When they later on went to the warehouse they found it to be empty. They then heard all of the inventory either was stolen or was sold to a company in India.
In despite of which they do not have any invoices.
That must be germans to deal with... :-o

Well, I consider this news-item to be some kind of joke from Wayne.
Adam from ACK has posted on the thread over at AW.net and hasn't claimed it's untrue (besides, the real surprise was the earlier announcement of these systems - this email just follows on logically from that). I certainly cannot imagine Wayne adding something like this as a joke - if it is a joke, it'd be Amiga Inc having us on...
-
I'll believe it when I see it.
-
Clearly Amiga wants to know what actually happened to this stock and sue whoever stole it. I think Petro might be in trouble!
If the stock was really stolen, then why A-Inc didn't asked for the goods the time they realized the "crime"? I don't think they are after this stock. (It would be at least six years too late :-D )
A-Inc just needs some proves, that they made some money the last years with the brand AMIGA
They just forgot to save some documents before shuting down the German "Amiga International"
I think that they need more proves that they own the rights on OS3.1 and therefore also on OS 3.5/OS3.9 as these are based on kickstart 3.1
But without Bill telling us why he needs these documents we are only speculating about the reasons.

What it looks like to me is there is a question as to whether or not Petro really sold all those Amiga's or a question as to how much money he recieved versus reported. Stuff definately not recounted in Petro's book, I imagine.

Ah the book, another pipedream of vapour =).

Amiga Inc. probably has investors (or tax guys?) wondering what's up with some anomaly in the books. But, if there is a chance to get back something that was stolen, every corporation in the universe would jump at the chance because the bottom line is king.

Oh yawn...please go defend it to somebody else. So you blew basically a thousand bucks for flaky hardware, had to turn around *immediately* to get it fixed, wait for...what, the third service pack before the onboard sound worked?

IMHO there is no "guilt" to pursue here. And maybe McEwen should acknowledge the powers of courts and judges by honoring the court rulings against himself, before trying to use the same legal system he disrespect for a long shot (for it is a long shot) for a thing that happened 10 years ago?
I don't remember I heard about that, where can I read up on this.Is it on the Amiga History site ?

@ weirdami

Nonsense, try "personal vendetta" if you want a reason.
Besides, you probably won't have to go as far as 10 years back in Amiga Inc's accounting books to see fishy things. :-P Question is *whether it would be possible* to go more than a few years back in "Amiga Inc"'s accounting, since the books probably got carefully buried (several times) along with amino/amiga/itech/kmos/whatever during the corporate shell-games they have been playing for years! :-P
But, if there is a chance to get back something that was stolen, every corporation in the universe would jump at the chance because the bottom line is king.
Nothing was stolen, that's McEwens words only, and please don't use the words of a liar and a thief to suggest a truth.

Why is everyone so damn interested in how their management works company politics etc ... its all a bunch off assumption .. no one here knows and why do we care to guess ? Why do we care for what this company has done in the past ? Or may be doing now? if we don't like it just don't care about it or involve your self in it ... People always like too complain and {bleep} about things but never seems to be part of any negativity at all .. Me i just sit here and watch the show.. If there will be new hardware etc good but if there wont there wont ..I will accept that nothing i can do about it .. No need too complain or assume ... My opinion though.. Just every time i see xx number of people complain and but why do you all care .. OK you may want AMIGA to overtake the PC and windows and such in the computer world .. it will never be so .. just accept it and enjoy whatever you may have or get if anything...
-
I think maybe AMIGA has to show some kinds of proofs that they used the brand AMIGA in the hardware section? Maybe another company is trying to get the name or so... maybe. ;-)
The suddenly activity on the side of Amiga Inc. in the amiga market looks strange for me. :-)

On the subject of this announcement, I am curious indeed. Having heard or heard of the crap spewed forth by Amiga Inc., and been honoured by a replay from Bill McEwen once when I asked a direct question, I am very curious indeed about this. The asking for records is very curious indeed. Not something I have ever heard of in my silly travels.
Maybe this is all a grand hoax? Either way I can't wait for Monday now.
