Here's the first specs for the new Amiga from Amiga Inc.

[Argus]

$489???  And I presume by the conspicuous non-mention you need to buy your own RAM, HD, DVD and, most importantly, OS (cause no mention of OEM version).  That makes this six year old spec more on the order of $800...insanity....

AI is presenting new hw wich should be all joy. The Frieden brothers has choosen not to speak at the forums... make what you want from it...

Would you speak publicly if you were being sued by these *****loecher?  This is such a shame, what a ripoff by these charlatans. No OS support and a premium price for a crappy old spec, only the mad would buy it.  Ask yourself would you buy a new PC if Microsoft had been enjoined from updates?  Maybe if you used Linux because it's open sourced but this is a closed system potentially being taken over by persons with zero demonstrated programming history who's own idea (AmigaDE) was a collossal flop...just read Bolton Peck's posting.  Heck, the only thing they've proved competent in is mucking up everything they've ever layed their hands on.  So now we fanatics and cult-idiots Amiga considered the classic crowd are supposed to buy this bull****?

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at *Mr.* Moss' calling Hyperion a 'shell company'.  What do you call two unemployed chuckleheads in the Pacific Northwest with nothing better to do than cling to the pipedream of some old Tao-based content shell running on top of WindowsCE?

SO THE WORLD MAY KNOW(tm)

First of all, about the gross underspecification:

Most amiga folks are going to want to at least play the latest games from two years ago...a la Quake4, etc., these require at least 1GHz and 128MB graphics memory to run.  Laugh if you will but this is an old games spec and nobody is going to want to buy a machine that can't play 3D games of 2+ years ago.

Second, we have waited a long time and to think these amateurs at 'Inc' (won't even give them the dignity of calling them A**** anymore) think they can foist yet another fraud upon these community is laughable.  I feel truly sorry for Adam; he's doing the best he can I'm sure with little/no support from 'Inc' (and what support there is is pure vapour).  Adam: run as fast as you can before you too have to spend money defending yourself from these lawsuit happy fools.

Lastly, as for Hyperion, the amateurishness of the lawsuit against them is going to be dismissed if they even care at this point to file an answer.  The failure to substantiate claims, lack of evidence, and gross misrepresentations in their 'depositions' is going to see the light of day.  'Inc' has demonstrated gross incompetence in EVERYTHING they've ever done.  You'd think someone who has had their arses kicked from sunrise to sunset every day of their lives would just do the decent thing and go away.  Does anyone think there is not an ARMY of hostile witnesses who would gladly testify on Hyperions' behalf against these frauds at 'Inc'?  The whole thing is bloody rotten; if Moss and McEvil had any decency they'd jump back into the shat from where they arose.
