Midgets Go to War: Genesi sues Amiga Inc.

[Herewegoagain]

These are things for a court and nothing for public.
If you think something violates your IP or whatever
then you have to go to court and not to
amiga.org/ann.lu/... That's how it works. Nothing else
Genesi has done.

Completely laughable.  Genesi (Bill Buck particularly) is the king of stirring sh_t in pubic forums.   And when there is nothing to stir, he creates stuff to cause problems.

As far as I can remember, I've always respected your opinion for now, so please respect that some Amiga users prefer the Pegasos/MorphOS solution for the Amiga future than the official one. That doesn't make them in any ways "infiltrators".

BUT THAT IS NOT THE AMIGA WAY.... IT IS THE MORPHOS WAY...


I've said it before and will again.... If you want pegasos and morphos, go to it... have it... leave Amiga the f_ck alone and make morphos grow on it's own merits... But aparently it doesn't have anything of its own to make it suceed without ripping the official AmigaOS completely apart.

And yes, it does make them infiltrators when they come into every last Amiga forum trying to become the dominant OS of the forum and push the others out!  And don't say you people are not trying to push the official AmigaOS out, because you are.

So at least Amiga.org or ANN are not anymore "Amiga(R) only" website, they are Amiga community websites. And today the community is composed by Amiga(R)/AmigaOS users, Amithlon/AmigaOS users, UAE/AmigaOS users, AROS users and Pegasos or Amiga(R) with MorphOS users.

But the one thing that "Amiga(R)/AmigaOS users, Amithlon/AmigaOS users, UAE/AmigaOS users" all have in common is that they are running AmigaOS.... The real OS not a ripoff.

But go ahead little mice.... follow Bill "the pied piper" Buck down the road.  He is so predictable (as I guess we all are, because I shouldn't even waste my breath on this crap)  Before this is all over he will post a message something like :  "This is great stuff.  It is working".  

Say what you want about Amiga Inc., but I've never seen Bill Mcewen come into a forum and create problems like BB does.  That speaks volumes for the (non)"professionalism" of Genesi, and just how small time they really are.

When a cat is backed into a corner and scared, they will hiss and scratch.  I think this is where Genesi are at now.  It's apparent they are fearing the pending competition by their actions.

To address another (rhetorical?) query here: the reason Genesi has pressed suit is unrelated entirely, and evidently because it seemed to be the only way to get a response after contractual agreements failed to be honored. Notice I said "evidently": it is for the court to decide. And it isn't cheap to do this for Genesi, but when parties agree to sign a contract and later one does not honor it, someone often feels it needs to be resolved.

And I have yet to hear anyone answer the statement that this "contract" was for the SmartBoy running WindowsCE and NOT Morphos.  If that is the case, how do you justify what you just said.  You are presuming Amiga to be guilty without trial.  It's really funny that on November 24, 2002 Bill Buck had this to say  about AmigaDE:

If there is anyone interested in working as a *paid* Developer for this "special" project, that is, bringing MorphOS and Amiga DE together then please contact us. It might be interesting to do, but as before and for the moment now, we do not see the value of such an effort.

He see's no value in such an effort.  Then only just over 1 month later a lawsuit is filed against Amiga.  I see who is stirring crap here.  As anyone should be able to if they open their eyes.  This is one big attempt to tie Amiga up in litigation and drain any possible amount of money he can from them in lawyers fees.  Viscorp and Phase5 will get their revenge yet!

Um...well I don't need bifocals to see that there are 2 sentences that end with the presumption that Amiga broke their contract.  Yeah, I know you stepped around abit to word it.  But the assumption is there clearly.

But whatever; I suppose we all have our versions of what is or could have been, and that's why some things end up in court.

Exactly.  That's why I think this should have never been posted here, or in any public light until the court has made a ruling.   But you know what I think about why it was posted in public forums.  Because thats the way Genesi (BB) does business.  It's all about creating a psychological frame of mind in your competitiors potential customers.    Ever played an online game like Unreal Tournament where your opponent keeps heckling you to try and distract you so you won't play as well.... That's Bill Bucks game.
