We are speaking about Amiga Inc CEO here. I find it interesting, how ppl blur or sharpen the differences between the Amiga, Amiga Inc, and the creation of OS4 as their agenda dictates.


Yes, very true.... And, in fact... (I probably shouldn't say this, but what the heck??)  Most of the people who want Amiga Inc to die aren't necessarily fans of any other platform...  They just recognize Amiga Inc as a cancer that the rest of the Amiga market can't support.

How can I say this?  Well look at it.  What has Amiga Inc done.  Designed hardware?  nope.  Designed Software?  nope.  Written some documentation?  nope.  They've at least done some marketing, right?  not really....*  (They hob-nobbed with a few people about Amiga Anywhere, but that's about it.)  Yet Amiga Inc are poised to try to take a cut of whatever (miniscule) revenue Hyperion can manage to take in.  

If Amiga Inc managed to fall out of the scene, Hyperion may almost be able to make enough money to avoid their OWN bankruptcy over this ordeal.  (Maybe.  I wouldn't guarantee it.)  But Amiga Inc is sticking around and flapping it's jaws like the Black Knight, or something.  (Come back here!  I'm not dead, yet!)  Amiga Inc is mortally wounded.  Anyone who doesn't believe that just hasn't had their eyes open.  The CEO situation is the final proof anyone should need.  The scans of all the lawsuits stacked up...  There's no way out of it.  The quicker they keel over and drop off, the quicker other things may start happening, perhaps even for the better.

Personally, I find it amusing that I can call Amiga Inc a cancer, and no one bothers to defend them...  Yet anyone who laughs at the thought of Bill McEwen hiding from lawsuits and skipping a convention he personally assured everyone he'd be at (as CEO, no less!)...  is obviously a MorphOS fanboy.
