I really dont think this rumour is true.... But anyways.. I dont Jim collas left on pure free will, more like that gateway dished the plans and did not need him anymore.

I liked him, seemed more open to the community.. though i wasnt that happy for the idea of an Linux box...

Things under Gateway's Amiga at least SEEMED to be moving forward which is much more than can be seen or demonstrated currently.

Without Bill taking over, we would not have AmigaONE and soon a new OS... They didnt not make this hardware themself, but without them it would not be possible. If they didnt buy it, we would have NOTHING at all now. You cant do alot with the limited funding AmigaINC started out with.

And actually though you dont want this amigaone, os4 and such... there are some people who want.

I believe Wayne was talking about Amiga Inc. only. A lot of people believe Hyperion and Eyetech are doing all the work while Amiga Inc is basicly just a cardboard cutout...

sure... But this would not be possible without AmigaINC anyways... AmigaINC did release the AmigaAnywhere player though, but personally i dont find much use in it  :-P

Incorrect. Teron mobos would be out there, regardless of what Bill has and has not done. MOS and AROS would still be out there as well as the Pegasus.

I was not talking about the pegasos and morphos...
I was talking about the AmigaONE and AmigaOS4.0.

What would you call the AmigaONE as it is today?

A computer running linux  :-P I was only saying that AmigaINC has managed to do more than Gateway did.
