@Wayne

So far Ive found the following list of people that call ed you a liar over the allegation that their landlord kicked them out:

Mike Bouma
Luca Diana

Ill post the links if you want.

So what do we have so far, in the public domain:

#1 Court judgement against Amiga Inc from former employee.

#2 Court judgement against Amiga Inc from former landlord which is now resulting in a job lot sale. The fact that the equipment is still in there shows Amiga Inc was locked out and did not have a chance to hot-foot it out of there with their stuff.

Current unsolved mysteries:

#3 Garry Hare, is he the CEO or not?
   -- Bill Buck sayes he handed him a CEO biz card
   -- Wayne sayes he handed him a CEO biz card
   -- Ray Akey sayes he is not currently the CEO of Amiga Inc.
   -- Fleecy Moss sayes he is not currently the CEO of Amiga Inc.

#4 Is anyone getting paid at Amiga Inc?
  -- Ray Akey sayes he is.
  -- Lots of people are questioning it.

Impending court cases:

#5 Thendic vs Amiga Inc over shipping DE/Anywhere with their FatBoy device (?)

#6 Some other rumoured cases against Amiga Inc of which I have no details to hand.

Well thats 6 questions to put to Fleecy this week! Anyone got any more I can ask?

Thank god AOS4 is safe in all this. There is a point where rumours either become accepted truth or accepted falsehood. Which way will these go?

Regards,

Dave.
Hate figure. :lol:

@Paul

I have asked hard hitting questions five times now, two look like anonymous questions because I deleted my ID ( DaveW ) and the last two were in last weeks questions ( not selected ) and this weeks question ( theres still hope ).

What the middle third one was I cant remember.
Hate figure. :lol:

@Paul

Well there is only one way they can rig it, and that is the selection process.

I can see three possible alternatives:

#1 Questions get selected that won't offend Fleecy because if he is offended the Q+A might cease and it draws publicity and hits to the site.

#2 Questions get selected that Fleecy sayes he can answer, so whilst at the height of the criticism ( that only the easy questions are selected) ( but only easy ones were being asked for a while because we were all trying to work out how far we could go in our questioning before they were not selected ) some of the more negative questions were put for a week. Now that has been done they can say "see look we did what you asked".

#3 Questions get selected that do not create adverse publicity for Amiga Inc.

@Warface

According to Hyperion, AOS4 is protected in the contract. I see no reason why they would lie about that. It is possible that the contract is not failsafe but being in different countries helps - you can get protection behind geographical legal boundaries. ;-)

@All

You must remember that for a long time now we have had  just peoples word to go by in order to judge the situation. Some people have taken a certain type of "word" ( say anti-Amiga Inc ) as truth without question, some people have taken another type of "word" as truth without question ( say pro-Amiga Inc ) and others ( like me and most of you ) think about who the source is, why they would say that and what the possible alternatives are. It may cloud the truth a bit while the possible alternatives are discussed and eliminated but its better than being a B*F where *=faction.

@Warface

IIRC Hyperion clarified in public that if AInc went tits-up.com  then they had the full rights to continue to develop AOS beyond AOS4.

@Bodie

Given this is unlikely to impact the A1 or AOS4 in any way whatsover I wouldn't let it impact your purchasing decisions in that respect.

@SlimJim

That still does not mean that Paul is incorrect, it could
fall into category #2 of my three possible rigging scenarios ( Fleecy sayes he can answer it - and the pressure to answer an adverse question is there ).

You can answer that without resorting to "you guys don't know what you are talking about" or "fleecy loving" ( which no one suggested ).

Regards

Dave.

@SlimJim

Fair enough. But unless there was completely random selection of the questions then the system is open from everything to mild bias right through to "rigging".

I understand now where the Fleecy Loving came from.
