@Methuselas
What exactly is your proposal? I'm sorry but so far it sounds just like the usual "let's conquer the world" pie-in-the-sky Jim Collas type of banter. Could you please be more specific? I don't see how any of this should be a big secret. After all, noone is reading these boards except a bunch of retro die-hards and MorphOS fans.
I think it much more likely the late night emails about the Club Amiga coupons are simply yet another shifting of the shell game of words and empty promises in response to Hyperions' insinuation recently of fraudulent activities by AInc such as Club Amiga, etc. You see there's this general legal principle in contract law called 'the clean hands doctrine'. Basically, if two parties have a contract dispute, a court will not look favorably on a party demonstrating bad behaviour (i.e. dirty hands), in this case AInc's fraudulent marketing schemes where real money passed hands and there was defrauding of the consumer (very bad). Naturally, AInc want to make it appear no fraud really occurred by honoring the coupons now (or at least making it appear so). It's just like the ACK phantom hardware spec., pretending to release hardware mirroring the ACube design to give substance to AInc.'s potential damages claim about 'first to market'. All of this is being done at the request of AInc's legal counsel, you can bank on it. It's all just legal posturing to improve their legal suit against Hyperion.
We are all being so used by AInc in their current lawsuit if we just blindly think their activities right now have *anything* to do with their plans other than to wrest the OS4 IP from Hyperion. That's the goal here, and BBRV got that much right you'd have to admit.
