Title: Worst Amiga CEO/Director, 2007
Post by: asian1 on March 17, 2004, 06:21:38 AM
Hi
McEwen era of AmigaOS is over.
Who is the worst director /CEO of AMIGA OS related companies?
Is it Mehdi Ali, Gould, McEwen, Petro T, Schmitt or others?

Every 3 or 4 years, AmigaOS is sold from one "cursed" company to another:
1994: Escom
1997: Gateway.
2000: Amino (current Amiga Inc)
2003: Kmos
What happen in 2006/2007?
Will Kmos sell all of its assets including AmigaOS?

As I pointed out somewhere else already: they kept the naming scheme of bankruptcy. :-)

 A = Amiga Corp.
 C = Commodore
 E = Escom
 G = Gateway2000
 I = Itec
 K = KMOS

So we are now at the last step before the Amiga curse will finally kill Microsoft... ;-)

Q> Who is the worst director /CEO of AMIGA OS related companies?

Of all times that's Mehdi Ali and Irving Gould, for sure.

They consientiously killed Commodore but thanx God not succeeded to do the same to the Amiga.

They used all they can to achieve this, delaying important step forwards (AGA could have been in the Amiga 3000!), making huge modification to excellent designs (the Amiga 4000 was created with SCSI and IDE, upgraded Scandoubler/Flicker-Fixer and more, all onboard), pushing enormous funds into PeeCee development, paying themselves HUGE (and I mean HUGE) salary and rewards for nearly no real work at all and last but not least escaped to some sunny island with the Commodore own airplane after paying a huge (2 M$) insurance fee backing them from all future legal actions that could be taken against them, and that with Commodore's own funds! :madashell:

I can't think of baddest guys at Amiga than them, it's nearly impossible.
