AmigaOne (tm) does not exist? Never did?

Guys this isnt this hard, and Amiga Inc is correct.  First of all this is all covered in paragraph 22, which is about the Acube & Hyperion alliance and it hits on the fact that Hyperion apparently sold OS4s to people that had Teron boards (ie AmigaOne boards sold without OS4) as several have commented both here and on AW.net that they bought OS4 from Hyperion.  An AmigaOne is the motherboard (or a whole computer) sold with OS4.  Given that there is nothing for Acube to distribute for Amigaones, because every single one of them was SUPPOSED to have been sold with OS4, (though obviously some of the originals didnt ship with the product) Amiga Inc is insuring that they Acube isnt selling Teron boards with OS4 and calling them AmigaOnes, they dont have the right to do that and Hyperion doesnt have the right to license them the rights to do that.   Amiga Inc received royalites for OS4 for the Teron boards (sic AmigaOnes) from Eyetech, Acube has no more right to sell Teron boards with OS4 and call them Amigaones, then I have the right to sell macs with OS4 and call them Amigaones or Red has the right to sell Pegasus IIs with OS4 and call them AmigaOnes.

Hehe... that's a possibility as well. I was thinking about either Pamela Andersson or Erika Eleniak as Amiga Inc's Soft-to-Hardware development team.

Had to do it that way, after all the Belgian dwarf was one of three people going to kick my a?? if I showed up at Amiwest in 2003.  Strangly enough not one of the three actually asked me to go outside and see how far I could bounce them.   I used to take charges from the Round Mound of Rebound, I'm afraid Benji and the others were a little too small to scare me.

Which is exactly why I want to start a class action suit against Amiga, Inc, for the coupon scam. They stated the coupon was for AmigaOne/OS4.0 Early Bird Bundles. Eyetech's boards, in AI's own words, are not AmigaOnes, thereby Amiga Inc committed both theft and fraud, by taking people's money *YEARS* ago.  ;-)

If you want to sue over the coupons, great, I've told people about that for years.  But your off base on the Paragraph 22 issue and the AmigaOnes.   Nowhere is Eyetech mentioned here, this is all about Acube and this comment in the press release (which is included as Exhibit I).  In it they say the following:

"Within the framework of the partnership Acube will act as a worldwide distributer of Hyperion's Amiga OS 4.0 operating system for a range of PPC hardware platforms including AmigaOne(MicroA1, XE/SE) and classic Amiga."

So Acube is going to be distributer for OS 4.0 (which Hyperion doesnt have the right to make them), they are going to distribute OS 4.0 of AmigaOne (which by definition already have OS 4.0,, so either they are going to repackage it and make more money (not allowed) or Acube is going to freely distribute final CDs, which do you think is going to happen?), classic amigas (which they had the right to do until the license was cancelled) and other PPC hardware platforms (which we know means SAM and Moana) which they arent allowed to do.  The issue is that only Teron boards sold by Eyetech which included a license for 4.0 (and so Amiga got a royalty on them) are AmigaOnes.   I made the comment the other day, that with Acube working on processor boards for the Terons I was wondering if they had found a bunch of board sans processors and were doing this to sell a bunch of old Terons at new high prices, AI is afraid of this as well, thats all that this is about.
