Genesi Won Lawsuit against Amiga Inc.

[Gopal]

I get the feeling Genesis is using the american corporate legal system for what it´s worth. It´s a sad day for the community, not only Amiga Inc.

Hey, Amiga Inc does not have money to protect themselves, let´s sue.

Does anyone here seriously belive Amiga Inc´s failure will help Genesis in any way? Will MorphOS become better now? Will Genesis sell more hardware? I know that a lot of people (*cough* amigaworld.net *cough*) incuding me won´t buy pegasos anyway, most of us won´t even buy AmigaOne before price is down, and OS4 is out there.

I thank Amiga Inc for making the decision to take AmigaOS from 68k to PPC. They never broke any promises, AmigaOS is not delayed, it´s in development and will be released when it´s done. Just as Hyperion promised us.

AmigaDE is a fantastic concept, I don´t blame Amiga Inc for missed business opportunities. It´s a hard market.

"lies, prevarication, delaying tactics, con tactics"

Please back up your claim with a link to a lie, some con tactics or such. I believe you are the liar here.

That´s not links or facts, thats writing quotations. They might be fake for all I know. And they might be taken out of their context.

When were u supposed to recieve the t-shirts? Did they give any date? Did anyone claim their money back? Did they recieve their money?

Phase5 didn´t take AmigaOS anywhere. They made hardware and managed to get some developer support.

I´m sure you would love Amiga Inc to give away trade secrets in Fleecy´s Q&A, but who in corporate america does that? Ask stupid questions, get what you ask for.

Ok, I give up.

But thats an interview, and stuff might sound different when he said it than they do in print.
The reason I mention this is because McEwen is a pro, and didn´t say that if he knew he could not deliver.

So in the end you are right, but I´m sure he didn´t know he was telling us a lie at the time (or even used those words).
McEwen has been carefull how he uses words not to promise, but to "inspire" and promote. Some might sounds like promises, but are hopes/dreams.

I bet he (and/or Amiga Inc) even intended to ship those t-shirts before getting into economic trouble.
