Who owns AmigaOS?

[bloodline]

Watching this fighting between company A and B and C and D just makes me think of a pack of dogs fighting over the last scraps of meat on a long dead carcass.

A very appt analogy for exactly what has happened.

-Edit- except that there is no carcass anymore, just dust and memories.

You know something... when I joined this site I thought it was for folk to talk about the Amiga computer...

But I now see through the whole scam...

It's just a front for failed or wannabe lawyers to play "lets pretend I'm a lawyer cos I failed my law degree", or "That law degree I bought online was a fake can any other fake lawyer here advise..." :roflmao:

Actually for the past 4 or 5 years, this has been a rather nice site, where people share Amiga problems, solutions and ideas... But for some reason you have been very keen on dragging up the past. What you fail to realise is your "personal" fixation as to who owns the right to call something Amiga is a war that was fought long ago, we all lost. Now we have our beloved Amiga's, emulators and NG solutions... Which most people just happily get on with using.

Once you get over your "One True Amiga" (tm) fixations, you will probably find this place far more agreeable!

Erm... I didn't start these threads or hadn't you noticed that, I've not been dragging up the past the CUSA stuff is the present if you hadn't noticed.

Really... My point, which I didn't make very clear, is that we have had company x popping up a few times a year claiming to be the saviour of the Amiga/Commodore etc... A few gullible people get excited, often the same few... Everyone else ignores it, then everything dies down and we all get on with it.

My advice is to stop getting so excited about C=USA and worry about it if it actually does something.

The who owns what may have been fought a long time ago, but as you don't seem to be able to comprehend the simple fact that it's still going on right now with the CUSA BS.

Sure the IP is tossed around like a wet sock, but most of us have moved on. I'd actually be impressed if ANY company could use either the Amiga or Commodore brand to sell any computers now.

Seriously good luck to them!

My "Personal Fixation" as you call it, has nothing to do with the past it's about what is happening now (a case of history repeating itself).

 
Your fixation is a relic of the past, we all used to feel the way you do now. But you are ignorant of the Amiga's (recent) history.

While most people happily get on with using their Amigas, I am one of them and been doing so non stop since 1986 and have never left the Amiga to go to any other platform or emulator.

And those that moved on, but still love and use Amiga solutions are lesser users? Of course not, we are all that is left of the once mighty Amiga community.

People do post Amiga hardware/software problems here and I do my best when I can to try and help them.

I try and help Amiga users regardless of the platform they now use... I will refer back to the assistance we provided to get your Mac working.

Strange how you always pop up in these type of threads though with your opinions and yet you now claim things were a lot nicer in recent years without them.

Hey, you seem to think Amiga.org is some horrible antiamiga distopia! It is your AntiAmiga.org that I object to! I love this place and these threads

Why do you post in such threads then if you don't like them or you think that things aren't "nice" anymore !!!

I love these kind of threads, I especially like the reasoned logical arguments that many users here are quite good at.

[bloodline]

You really don't have a clue as to what you are actually saying when you type a post do you.

Ok, calm down... If this were real life we'd be having some banter over a couple of pints and a packet of dry roasted.

I'm just typing my thoughts as we all are, I've got a pretty good idea what I want to say, and while it can be hard to get a subtle point across, always try and look for one.

"A few gullible people" !!!

Why do these threads tend to dominate the home page and get more views and responses (including from the mods and site admins) than most other threads here, must be a hell of a lot of excited and gullible people here in that case.

This thread isn't really about C=USA, it's about the mess A Inc and Hyperion (let us not forget Eyetech too) made of their part of their involvement with the Amiga, there were other companies involved too, but that is another thread.

The interest in this thread comes from our ghoulish desire to look at the corpse of Amiga being manipulated by the incompetent and the greedy.

Odd... never considered anything exciting about CUSA.

C=USA does excite you, just not in a positive way. I think you should just forget about it

That's your opinion, but I've probably forgotten more about the Amiga than you'll ever hope to know.

That's a bit harsh, but probably true now... I was looking back at my old source code (hoping to port something to the iPhone) and realised that I couldn't remember what any of the regs did anymore... and I can only find my OCS hardware ref

And I have thanked one and all for that.

Hopefully you will learn to love your Mac as you do your Amigas

You really "think" and say some utter cobblers at times... AntiAmiga.org !!! I think you've been sniffing too many socks lately.

Hmmm, I have said some utter shyte in the past, but I do try and think about what I say now. If you don't agree with what I say simply point out my error, cite some refs and I'll listen.

I've done far worse than sniff them.

You "love these kind of threads" but do nothing but complain and moan about them belonging in the past !!!

Not these threads, but the attitude I perceive from you. Could be my failing, but I've lived through the Amiga religious war, I know how you feel.

It's a shame you're not one of those logical ones that post reasoned arguments.

Hmmm, I honestly try to be logical... though I'm always tempted by a joke, and will take that option if available

Point proven, you don't have a scooby doo about what you type or say here do you...

Please back up what you say with references, or you just being offensive!
