Hiya Dave.
Yeah, whilst I can see your point and agree with it too, I must confess and say that I can see the reason why Bill McEwen does it.
Bill is a marketing man, he has to appeal to everyone, the Amiga Community, the Investors, the potential new customers, etc. (Think about it as external to the Amiga scene point of view)
I try to keep the blurb down when I make announcents for Total Amiga Magazine, World of Amiga Southeast 2002, or whatever else. However, I don`t move in the same high circles as Bill does.
Knock me down with a feather, but at least Bill has worked very hard in trying to tie up deals and keep Amiga afloat. Whether you like the blurb or not, he has kept Amiga from going under. Correct me if I am wrong but aren`t they now the longest owners of the Amiga name since Commodore and without the money Gateway/Escom had?
Yes, I hate the blurb too, but if it means he keeps the company going, as he has done so far, who cares?
