So what? The pope supposedly doesn't like porno either, does that mean I have to agree? Err, I didn't say that out loud, did I? :-)

Look, Alan is (like everyone else) entitled to an opinion. The question was "what do you think about..." and the answer was "well, personally, I...". Calm down.

I seriously DO NOT SEE how you can ARGUE with PERSONAL opinion. That's just TOTALLY WRONG...

@Dan:

Excactly.
If people here thinks it's so horrible that Alan doesn't like PDA's, then FOR CRYING OUT LOUD MAKE IT YOURSELF!!!

Business is business, and you don't just throw money into something you don't believe in. Unless you've got a pretty bad reputation for believing in the wrong things ;-)
However, I think the point here is that Alan has a roadmap for what he wants to do with the AmigaOne, and he has been given some help from MAI and IBM (it's obviously MUCH easier working together with those who make the individual parts in your product than working against them (like (allegedly) some others do...) on how they envision the desktop ppc platform roadmap, and he believes he can pull this off. Then someone comes along and asks what he thinks about palmtop amigas, and he says he personally doesn't care much for them. The whole point behind this should be that Eyetech doesn't have a monopoly on the name "Amiga", Amiga Inc will give you a license if you agree to their terms.

Hmm, kinda lost my track here. What was I talking about? :-)

It's a BIT hard to say based on _1_ short sentence, innit? ;-)

Probably


Still, it's just one sentence long, so hard to to say. It's also VERY hard to see why anyone would fake that. Usually, we see people imporsonating to make the other person look bad, but in this case it's a pretty much neutral statement so I don't think anyone actually CARES if it's faker or not. If it's fake, what does it matter?
