Hello
I had posted "What is the meaning of JEOPARDY" on
OS.AMIGA.COM and WWW.AMIGAWORLD.NET (Fleecy Q&A).
Unfortunately no official explanation.

>CEO is responsible.
The action and judgment of the CEO determine the
future of the platform and community:
1. User: will this machine became obsolete,
without any future, new application, new OS etc?
Without proper application, the machine will
become museum piece or paperweight.
AmigaOne users are lucky that LINUX for PowerPC
is available. Imagine if there is NO Linux for PowerPC.
Even with Linux, the user should compile the
applications themselves and many Linux X86 apps
cannot run on top of PowerPC.
2. ISV / Independent Software Vendor:
How many customer will buy my product?
Is there any chance of increasing market size?
What about my investment in developing this
application? Can I re-coup the investment?
What happen if the platform "collapsed"? (BeOS)
Can I port the software to Windows / Linux?
3. Hardware / Software agent:
How many customer will buy Amiga products?
Is there any chance of increasing market size?
What happen to old  stock in Warehouse if the
platform collapsed and I cannot sell it?

The decision and judgment of "closed" platform
leader/CEO  will affect many people outside the
company. See: BeOS (JP Gasse), old APPLE (Amelio)

>Working from Home, Stress, Death Threat etc
How come Mr McEwen work / function as CEO/leader,
if he is afraid to leave his house?
Whatever threat, he should find a way to handle
it (local police, bodyguards, camera, guns etc).
If he cannot handle the threat or stress,
perhaps he should resign as CEO.
