Barry Altman died.
Hurray!
This is very good news for our community.
This man was a pathetic idiot, all and his ideas what to do with Amiga brand is to sell off the shelf pc in overpiced cases.
He lived like a dog die like a dog.
Maybe next time, the brand will go into the hands of someone who will be smart enough to do something with it.

If your in the UK, PM me your address and i will come round and knock some sense into ya.
I agree, even if you didn't like the guy (and I think most here didn't) at least have some sympathy for his friends and family...Exactly. There's no call for being an ásshole about the fact that he died, but if people are gonna start fawning over his memory and calling him a "celebrity" and a "great man" just to avoid looking like qwerty, I'm gonna have to start dredging up old Barry quotes for perspective.
But lets also not rewrite history... Calling him a "celebrity" ? Really?

Wow, that would be such a classy act! Oh wait, a classy act would to be ignore threads about dead people you don't like instead of posting digs at the dead. My bad!Well, if people will keep their own posts in perspective, then I won't have to do it for them.
So even when your "enemy" is dead your hate burns eternal.I don't know why I'm dignifying this with a response, but no. I don't hate Barry, and I never have. I did, however, find his online behavior thoroughly rude and childish and his business practices questionable at best, as did many other people here, which is why I'm stunned that this has turned into such a boot-licking competition the minute we found out that he died (which is sad in any case, and especially for his family.) Respect for the dead does not and should not mean pretending that they were flawless saints, but that's exactly what's happening here.
I can only guess you get in a lot of fights and wonder why is this so ...
I think all these "condolences" are a little over the top. With all the abuse some of you guys here gave him and all the ill will you gave his CUSA the condolences you are giving him seem a little hypocritical. One minute he is much hated then you find out he is dead and suddenly he turns into a much loved celebrity? Seriously?
Fine, you all made it clear a long time ago that you really hate the guy. Say your condolences or even better say nothing. Just stop pretending you liked the guy.

Why can you criticize a person when he's alive but not after he's dead? Are those things mutually exclusive or something?
When will you people learn that I don't give a tinker's damn about your pathetic attempts at armchair psychology?)
When a person dies, it is a reminder that despite our differences we are all human. It's a time to let go of past grievances. Death will come to us all, and is probably the most difficult thing we have to face, let people go through it with some dignity.
A persons death doesn't automatically wipe off any ill-doings of this person (this is generally speaking!). RIP Barry, but things must still be open for discussion. It doesn't take away any respect for a dead person. This is IMHO.
everyone seems to love and respect michael jackson now. i'd imagine if obama kicked the bucket, a week later everyone would be praising how great of a person he was.

Ummm, I would say getting 65 million votes means people like you, even against a forgettable generic opponent. Sounds like you've been drinking Fox News Koolaid....
I wonder what his family will do with CUSA that they have inherited?
