heard it is possible to recover contents of hard disks (even deleted and written over) using special tools (clean room). Perhaps Genesi / BBRV will buy their computers


FUD.

There is more than one way to wipe a hard disk so that the contents cannot be restored, retrieved or otherwise recovered, no matter what the means you try.

For you to think that the auctioneers would be allowed to sell hard disks with corporate IP on them, shows that you don't know much about IP law.   They would be in a nice fix if they did.

P.S. As sensible people might expect, we have already collected our IP and wiped the drives.  But, go ahead and make sure you bid nice and high.   :lol:

Amiga is not bankrupt and Amiga have not stopped involvement with AmigaOS 4.0 and beyond. Amiga also still owns the Amiga trademarks.  Anything you hear otherwise is designed to stir up fear, uncertainty and doubt within the Amiga community.

AmigaOS 4.0 is going as planned with Amiga involved with Hyperion and their staff.  See the new AmigaOS 4.0 screenshots for the latest.

Amiga has plenty to do with AmigaOS 4.0 today, even though none of our guys are doing the actual coding.  Check your facts instead of relying on old information.

Would it not make make sense to you that someone who works for the company knows what going on with it?

This is the case here.  The owners have not changed.

@z5

Hyperion is doing a terrific job with AmigaOS 4.0. However, Amiga has a lot to do with AmigaOS 4.0 and beyond.  Most of it is behind the scenes, but that's okay.. you are allowed to have an opinion, even if it is wrong. :-)

Games in the the Amiga PocketPaks use Amiga graphics APIs and other APIs that have not been released to the public (yet).   Jonas (aka Messiah) and I have both addressed this previously so, if you're really concerned as to what we've added, go hunting.

"Amiga is still a trademark of Gateway and Commodore and they don“t object to me using it"

Okay, let's test that theory.  Show me where you use the trademark.

Bill, most of the people that spout crap against me weren't my friends to begin with.  The only one of ANY of these people who have either an alternate perspective or contrary opinion, that I respect is Nate Downes.  Sure Nate has been somewhat imflammatory and has his own position to think about with Genesi but I still consider him a friend.

People are allowed to have opinions.  If their opinions run tangent to my own, that's fine.  Time will tell who knows what they're talking about or if there are other motives for their rhetoric.

As for me being paid, that's simply no one's business but mine and Amiga's.  If someone other than this pair wants to know, let them summon Amiga's records.  My finances are none of your business.

To the auction, I simply uttered one rather tongue-in-cheek comment, which I repeat AGAIN since you people can't get it through your thick skulls, "it is used equipment."  If you took something else home from that, that's YOUR problem, not mine.  Maybe you need to get a sense of humor to read my reply back then as it was meant to be read.  I have a sense of humor, if you don't like that, that's your problem, not mine.

As for my honesty..  If you don't believe what I say, you don't have to. In that case, you're the one with religious passion that's reading more into someone's comments than is written.

As for the update that I just submitted as a new news item (that somehow got turned into a little note tacked onto the head post of this topic - funny and sad how that happens) :lol:

As you can see, we've had great success in getting the auctioneer to correct his mistaken preamble.

Now if only the trademark people would get their rumps in gear and post our updated trademark status. 8^P

It was NOT you (as you are prone to take credit for things which do not pertain to you) who got them to clarify things.... At least not according to them, and as I said, unlike you, they have no reason to lie.


Hogwash.  I have an email sitting here (that I will not reveal without checking first with Fleecy) from the auctioneer expressing their apologies for the miscommunication and of their willingness to clarify the things that were added to the auction that did not belong to Amiga.

I don't know where you get your assumptions, but in this case, I have proof that you are wrong.

You have never been more wrong.  You'll find that out soon enough.
