Amiga technology and patents ownership ?

Bleh. I just spent the last 45 minutes reading over the the history of the Amiga.  I still remember the day that I read that Gateway 2000 was buying the Amiga, planning on making new systems. Just going over all that information is like trying to trace out individual spaghetti noodles in a pot of them.

 :bigcry:

All this is just mind boggling.  It's just so surprising how they were able to completing mess up a company and not know where things are coming or going.  If you could go back in time and change any of the events, would you ?

True a lot of people in the US tend to be the money grubbing, power thristy type that are content to be slam away on computer operating systems with no personality.

I personally don't like those "pocket protector" types. Most IT personal get on my nerves.  Yes I have respect for the truly hardcore Unix that really really know what they are doing, it's the typical MSCE type that do it to me. The ones that think just because they can remember everything on the pages of their Access manuals.

In the past few days I've learned that there are a lot more Amiga users in my city then I thought.  Matter of fact, I've learned that my public library has more then just the 4000T that is pushing Infochannel on our public access channel.  All the people that decide to take workshops to run and produce shows, and do any editing have to learn how to use the Amigas.  I'm going to ask the director of our access channel about all the Amigas.  I wanna play with them.  Already we have tons of new Amigans brewing everyday.

Grr, I've been yelled at too many times for being a cynic. I've been told all I want to do is taint people with the poison of negativity when I mention anything at all wrong with the Amiga world. Okay now we have more people people that are admitting that they don't want the sugar coating crap shoved down their throats any more.

Is it okay now to chuck the "Positive Touchy Feelings in AmigaLand" stuff and be able to get real.  Personally myself, I'm a MUCH better worker when I'm angry (which really doesn't happen all that often), getting stuff done very quickly.  True if I'm not stuff will get completed eventually, but being all PO'ed is going to light a fire under you. Face it, anger people take action. Brash, cutthroat, livid take no prisoners business guys end up eating steak at the end of the day, while the mild and meek still with hot dogs.

Did you take the red pill, the blue pill, or the sugar pill? Only you know.
