Why hate the people who actually did something?  What has A-Inc done for the amiga in the last 10 years?  Hyperion actually sat down and used some imagination and creativity to CREATE something.  A-inc seems to be in business lately just to sit on their hands.


Actually Amiga Inc is the one who really did something.  Amiga Inc hired a contractor to write an update to an OS.   A year after it was supposed to be delivered, they decided that Hyperion was never going to finish it and they paid them the money promised them, plus an additional fee, but still didnt receive what they were promised (source and executables for the OS).   Four years after paying for it, Hyperion apparently decided that they owned the OS and signed a distributer for an OS based on AI IP whose modifications were paid for by AI to the amount required by the contract.

methinks you're too jumpy. Have you seen the original contract of Hyperion ? No ? Don't you think it's a little bit strange that it was not submitted to the court ? Did you know all AInc's claims were based on a 2004 contract which was NOT signed by either parties ? (Arctic software development agreement)


I think I have actually read the documents and you have not at this point, so no I dont think I am being jumpy. Have I seen the original contract with Hyperion?  Yes, I have and if you'd read Fleecy's deposition, you would have read it too, its Exhibit A.  Its identical to the unsigned one thats been floating around btw, but it has Alan, Benji and Barry's (fleecy) signature on it, and initials on every page.  Now how about you go read the document and then come back with your questions.  In addition, we see that in April 24, 2003 that Ben Hermans and Kouri signed an agreement for $25K for Hyperion to deliver the OS4 code and executables (Thats Exhibit F of the Bill McEwen Deposition).  Its 4 years later and they havent delivered the code or executables yet.
