Amiga Inc, in 25 questions or less
« on: September 08, 2006, 06:53:16 AM »
With all the questions of whether "Is Amiga Inc alive?" or not, I thought to write to Bill McEwen himself to see whether the lights were still on.  Within an hour, I got a long, well-written reply and an offer to directly answer 25 questions from the Amiga community...

In short, Bill wants everyone to know that they are still, very much alive despite the many popular rumors to the contrary.  His standing offer is to take questions from Amiga.org users and they will answer the top 25 (as determined by the Amiga.org staff) as completely as possible.

That being said, a few words of [color=ffa500]caution[/color].

What this is...

This is a chance for the Amiga community to ask questions and have them directly answered by Bill McEwen in an open exchange.  You can ask anything you want, as long as it's a legitimate question regarding Amiga Incorporated, it's products, plans, and future.

What this is [color=cc0000]NOT[/color]

- This is not a chance for politics and agendas
- This is not an excuse to act like children and hurl insults
- This is not an excuse for personal attacks and delving into the personal lives of Amiga Inc staff members.

Post your questions in comment form below.  

On the 8th of September, I will collect the questions and the moderators and I will correlate them and select the top 25 questions.  Once selected, all of the questions will be passed directly to Amiga Inc.

Mr. McEwen has stated that he will answer 25 questions.  

If there are more legitimate questions than that, we will select the best 25 and put them at the top of the list.  It's up to them if they want to answer more.  If there are fewer than 25 legitimate questions, all will be passed to Amiga Inc for their response.

@seer

I would presume as quickly as they can get them all answered.  25 questions in essay form is quite a bit to take in I would believe.  A week perhaps?  I'm hoping to have a returned set of answers by the 15th.  

Oh... snap... I forgot.. Isn't next weekend an American Holiday?  Memorial day or somesuch?  Well, it'll either delay things a bit, or it'll give him more time to work on the answers...  

Either way, this is a helluva big olive branch they just tossed out to the community.  I say let's grab it and see if we can sink em..

> why beat around the bush?

A more important thing here is that we all feel this way to a certain extent, and we're all frustrated with things that have -- or haven't -- been done.  Hopefully this Q&A will serve to answer the major concerns of the community.  

Otherwise, the question is really "why get upset now?"

This thread is strictly for questions for Amiga Inc.  Let's not chat here if you please.

Pencils down everyone!

No more questions can be entertained at this time as the list has been correlated and sent to McEwen for his input.

You can see the list, exactly as I sent it to him at http://www.amiga.org/AIQuestions.php

Here's hoping for solid answers.
