Heh, not surprised either, although BinoX I think is correct: it was an announcement about information forthcoming, not a product or anything (what's wrong with you? they can't make physical things! didn't you know?)

Anyhow, I'm surprised they've also not gone completely bankrupt and put to jail yet. Out of all the ex-suitors of the Amiga (ESCOM, Gateway, etc), they're the longest living! For some reason the Commodore/Amiga curse hasn't killed them yet! It's like the saying "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger", but unfortunately with the wrong player in mind. They're like damn {bleep}roaches! Nuclear bugs! Arggg! DIE already! Amiga is OURS. You'll never have it!

@persia:
M$ shop. That's the sad truth, indeed.

@A1260:
And after the court, we'd get a promise that they'd send us the money, but of course being a promise from AInc... Well you know how it'll go :-)

@MarkTime:
Exactly!!! Hahahaha. Win a badge or some other lame sh*t.
And exactly on the spot with the "no one but the lawyers win" :-(  And this is unfortunately another part of the unfair justice system here. The sueing is only happening from those with large sums.

@jorkany:
Although I don't possess any specific knowledge, I wondered the same thing and my conclusion was that they must have used the IP to make deals with other companies, but without resorting to legal avenues, by just cutting smaller deals. You know what I mean? Smaller extortion, but for such petty thieves that they seem to be, good enough. Part of the reason for this thinking is that Carl Sassenrath mentioned at last year's AmiWest that he still is quite busy with Amiga IP and companies knocking on his door to ask for technical advice in various IP cases. So guess who else would be involved? (like I said, this is not based on facts, but deductive logic on my part)

@CoolamigaN/Methuselas:
:laughing: Ah, that was good!

@downix:
GASP! I guess now OS5 must be coming out in a couple of days, through the chimney, carried by Santa all the way from Washington!! :-D

@Pyromania:
Indeed!

No, but said woman in the picture was an avid Amiga user, back in the day.  :-D


Out of curiosity, who is said woman? Is it this Miki character from our signature?

Bah! I think figuring out the snorting character's name is more interesting than the original topic :-)
