Is anybody happy about the lawsuit?
« on: April 30, 2007, 09:57:19 PM »
I sure am. An I'm not picking sides either. I hope Hyperion and Amiga Inc both loose their shirts. The judge will probably be an Atari hold out.

Lets face it, there hasn't been any thing all that interesting in the Amiga community in the past year and all of a sudden Amiga Inc releases specs for some god awful slow as dirt under spec system and launches a lawsuit. I've completely drained my reserve LOLs today. I'll have to goto bed early tonight so I can go back and hit the forums tomorrow for another round chest hurting laughter.

I hope they both go out of business in a giant red and white checker ball of fiery death. AmiDrama at it's best.

In time, the empty offices of Amiga Inc and Hyperion will be used exclusively by the Aros kitty as her personal catbox.

No, as usual potentially good news immediately becomes astonishingly bad.

Now if only Dennis would reply with stuff about the MiniMig I could be all happy again.

From the documents, it appears that Amiga Inc made a payment and then some to Hyperion. If Hyperion actually cashed that check and took the money and really didn't provide the code as per their agreement, then thats really, really messed up.

From reading the agreement, it looks like Amiga had a lot of room to yank them around.

From what it looks like to me, I see one company thats untrustworthy and greedy ( Amiga Inc ) and another company that bit off more than they could chew and didn't play by the rules they agreed to ( Hyperion ).
