Interview with KMOS CEO Garry Hare (25 Mar 04)

Well having been out of the community for so long I have not been as disappointed or soured on everything as most, so this interview was quite good to me.  I like the guy as a person based on his very factual answers and can appreciate why in this environment today they would have kept a lot of this secret.  Announcing anything in the tech industry as a whole before there is anything to back it up has become a VERY bad trend and one that ruins names and people.  Amiga has had this happen more times than anyone can count so anyone that follows this community should be able to appreciate that.  I haven't been back in for very long and even I have learned.

I left the interview with a positive feeling, so now it's time to just wait and see.  I feel after reading a lot of the history of Amiga while being armed with a large amount of hindsight that this is probably one of the best interviews I've seen with anyone related to post Commodore Amiga.  It answers some very tired issues and doesn't promise the world.  Best of all, it doesn't throw anyone to the sharks either.

This is great!  I've never seen such obsession with a trivial issue.  A General of the Armies obsessed with the placment of a single tank in 10,000 tank battle.   :-D

I for one am willing to give someone a chance to get what's left of the Amiga back into the technology industry.  Gary likes to take a Mac to a meeting to look cool, GREAT!  Guess what everyone, thanks to Microsoft's corporatizing (is that a word?) of technology (including Microsoft Speak), that is just the kind of person you need to have running a modern tech company (YES, a "suit").  

The age of the Amiga and the technology market of it's time is long passed.  It needs to change with the times or die and in this day and age that means lots of long words that mean nothing strung together and flung at corporate "suits".  I see it everyday and it's a VERY sad state of affairs, but very true.

I guess I should get my rants straight.  I was referring to the business card thing.  Nobody has been honest, which is why I'm suprised anyone is obsessing over that one issue.  There are so many bigger ones.  It's a wait and see thing, though I don't think many will be happy with the future KMOS is working on as I think it will have little to do with the Amiga as a PC type platform.  Just my opinion.
