No hyperion doesnt show up, at least not 'our' hyperion.


No, but they do share a web page together.    :-P

http://www.hyperion-software.com/

Wonder if there is a connection between the two?

So that's a BAD thing that they would run an article on how to get your money back after how many months? Naughty naughty magazine - trying to help the bad bad consumers hurt poor widdle Amiga Inc. Where's the loyalty? Where's the love? Where's the bank loan officer and the T-shirt store?


Stop trolling.  Where are all of these supposed "hurt" coupon buyers that want their money back?  I don't.  I bought it fully knowing that it may take longer than I was willing to wait.  It's $50 lousy dollars.  I've blown more on games that I only played once or twice and decided I didn't like.  Why make such a deal over it?  When I purchased my membership/coupon/whatever thingy, I was never told that I would have it in XXX number of days.  And as long as people get them before AOS4 is out, what does it matter?  Because until then, there's not much reason to have it.

Well IF you are the typical buyer of the (whatever), ...


Yeah, I don't really know what to call it either.   :-P

But IF some people feel betrayed, and THE LAW is on their side, than
they ave all rights in the world to get their money back by all
possible means.


Ok, then I'm assuming that people have requested money back and have been told "no" by Amiga?  Where are they?  I've not heard of anyone yet.  Or is this "magazine" trying to incite people to do so?  If so, what is their motives for this?  Who is behind it?  And why do they feel compelled to "save all the coupon buyers"?  Is this another case of finding a problem where none exists or are there really lots of people out there wanting their money back??  

This is not meant in a sarcastic way, I just really am curious.

And for the record I am one of those people with $50 on the line too. I WON`T be asking for my $50 back, but I don`t mind other people asking for theirs, it`s up to them and I`ll be brutally honest with you I DON`T think Amiga Inc have treated their customers well with this "CLUB" It`s been a rash idea poorly thought out and VERY poorly executed. Amiga Inc as far as I can see has NO PR skills whatsoever.


Gotta agree with you on that one L8-X.  The whole deal was handled very poorly.  They have at least admitted that much.  I don't feel slighted, but I do feel disappointed that Genesi come off as a much better prepared and better at marketing than Amiga.  Hopefully they will learn what they are doing soon.  They are loosing the battle quickly in my eyes, and I'm a supporter.  It's the things like the ill fated club deal and announcing they will be at Cebit with OS4 and to date they still don't show up in the vendor search.  This is very disappointing.  I feel like it almost surely means they will not be there.  I hope I'm wrong.

Thats atleast how I understood it, and if I had bought (whatever)
I would feel betrayed, and that has nothing to do with me being
on the "evil" side.


I agree mostly.  It was left to that feeling that you would have this coupon/t'shirt soon.  And that made you feel that an OS4 release was about to happen, thus spurring some into buying.  I don't think it has to do with anyone being "evil".  It's just not a good situation.
