Forgive me if I no longer believe a single word coming from this side.

Which 'side' are you referring to and why? Just curious.


The 'side' thats perpetually secretive, patronising, condescending; the 'side' that deals with criticism first by first denying it then trying to turn it back and making out the accusers to be the bad ones; the 'side' that makes Q&As about products they've already sold without telling anyone. The side that will not change no matter who is in charge.

And I know it hasn't changed, just by reading this 'interview'. This to me is just like all the other statements coming from this side: accusitive, but not answering any of the real and prudent questions which we are all dying to know.

I have to love this:

""A while later we added a third category; anyone Mr. Buck had called an "idiot". In most cases these "idiots" were computer enthusiasts not industry professionals."

Well, I searched ANN, and Amiga.org, and even tried to search Moobunny, but nowhere have I found a statement by bbrv where he calls anyone an idiot - not even me, when I was heavily critical of him some year ago. Anyone who finds one can post a link, please. Such epithets are much more typical to spring to the mouths (or typing fingers) of a certain Hyperion employee and an AInc webmaster. Folks would do well to realise this before they fire up their demonization machinery.

In summary: same old rubbish, different name.

Hehe. That sounds a heck of a lot like it would apply equally to both "sides" involved the recent "Amiga civil war".


True enough, but if AInc were a bit more open about their dealings (or at least less damning of anyone who DARES speculate in the gaping vacuum their silence leaves), the whole business card thing would have been a total non-issue.

Shame on Bill Buck though. He knew that Hare wasn't the CEO of Amiga Inc, and that there was only an option of him becoming that.


To jump to that, you only have the word of two men you don't know. One, Buck, who is known to take an unholy delight in tormenting AInc (not that I blame him), and another, Hare, who you do not know and who has remained totally silent since the purchase of the OS rights *last year*.

Not really a situation that reflects well on either man, and may well be a case of the devil and the deep blue sea.

You mean from incidents like the Viscorp fiasco?


Way to deflect, Ben. Although you did forget to criticise the poster's intelligence/knowledge that time. You're slipping.
