Re: 40 questions Q&A with Bill McEwen published on Amigaweb.

You know, I don't want to sound like a prick or anything, but how many of those questions were *WASTED* on stupid OS4 ones? Are you people frakking morons? He's in the middle of a lawsuit and he can't say sh!t about them. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure *THAT* one out.

Here's some questions you *SHOULD* have asked:


Bill, what's it like knowing that the majority of the community can't stand you,'cos you've ripped us off, lied to us about products, didn't give us what we asked for and didn't listen to *ANY* of us, when we had ideas that could have saved your business and the community?

Bill, did you really think that you'd get away with the schell game you played with Amiga, Inc./KMOS/Itec?

Bill, what did you think when pictures appeared of your "New York Office" and the apparent lack of personnel?

Bill, why do you continually imply that you've never met people, who insist that they've spoken to you and that as a business man, they find you incorrigible?

Bill, when are you going to admit that you're not business savy and go back to being a truck driver?

Bill, is it true that your dealings with ACK are based on his proven track record for unreliability and the fact that it coincides with your own projections of OS5 or the fact that he's equally as delusional as you are?

Bill, what were you thinking, when you offered to cough up $10Mil for the Kent Naming rights, when that could have been used for something like advertising, paying back the coupon scams or research and development?

Bill, do you honestly think that anyone in the community, your only viable, capital interest and that's not saying much, believes a word you say or that you have any sort of credibility?

I think that's a good starting point.  :roll:

The whole thing is a joke. I can understand the fact that he cannot go into details about OS4 because of the legal matters. But everything about OS5, and the "let's wait and see" attitude just doesn't cut it with me. Many users are asking for "proof". Let's see screenshots, pictures, or something. Instead, all we get are vague answers and "you'll see when it comes out".

Sorry, but I have no interest in that kind of business. I'll stick with my classic Amiga and WinUAE until there's something new, real, and worth my money to buy.


NDA's are not permitting him to answer those questions


BTW, your reply was one of the *BEST* laughs I've had in a long time.  :lol:

what good have YOU done for the amiga recently?

oh, wait, i shouldn't have said that either. the ideology of people commenting here is stil far from reason. so i'm going to be the next one to be burnt after Bill. right?

pathetic.



Let's see.....

I bought OS 3.5 *AND* 3.9. I bought a new A1200, when I didn't need one. I bought Amithlon. I bought one of those stupid coupons, when I knew I didn't want, nor could afford one of their buggy, over-priced Teron Boards. I tried to rebuild the situation, personally, between the two warring faction, blue and red. I tried to establish a viable market plan for Amiga, Inc. and Hyperion that would have started out slow, but would have seen a capital vestment.

What have YOU done for the Amiga?  :roll:

[EDIT]

Personally, *I* think I have done enough and gotten nothing in return.

And I'm not the only one who thinks like that.  :evil:
