The Jim Collas rumor, truth or rumor? I say rumor.

At least from my perspective, it has been based on several periods of Amino and Amiga Inc being in Phoenix but basically abusing any attempts to work together, and trying to take without giving in return.

Please excuse me for reminding you but, in retrospect, you're forgetting a bit of your own brand of venom against your friend the head of Amiga's Support division..  If you're going to mention Amiga's "abuse" you should also mention your own, just to be 100% accurate.  It wasn't exactly a one-sided fallout..  I'm sure you remember me arguing with you to tone down the names and comments you were using against him in quite a public IRC channel.

I give Ray Akey some credit for actually trying to go against the grain and keeping a foot in with some QNX interests; unfortunately that was not enough by a long shot.

While I do thank you for the compliment, I cannot in good faith take credit.

I was working on QNX "Augusta" RtP applications before I started working for Amiga Inc.  You may or may not also recall tha I claimed the first QSSL/QNX bounty for developing applications for RtP (with my graphical interface "NeuFTP" FTP client).  I was also working towards bounty #2 with NeuIRC, which was released as an alpha, but Amiga (Gary, actually) came along with an offer I couldn't refuse.   What can I say, I needed to eat. :-)

I didn't do anything, officially, within Amiga with respect to QNX. My projects for RtP were personal developments that I left behind when I joined Amiga. However, I did enjoy the QNX Kernel, OS and API and I own a hardware product that uses the QNX OS as it's underlying OS (the Audio Request ARQ server).

Akey, I could present quite the timeline of who was frustrated and why.

greenboy, I would appreciate it if you would try to conduct yourself as the professional you claim to be and use my first name or the handle/username that I use to post. Afterall, we're not back in high school, where everyone forgot how to address people properly, are we?

Maybe I'll write something later about why Genesi has been a good fit - and why Amiga Inc was just a good cause to have a fit  ;  }

I know all about your version and how you didn't like that things didn't work out your way.  I've heard it before.  Unfortunately, for you, there are two sides to the story.  I also won't be going into it as it's not my place to talk about this. That's up to Gary if he so chooses.
