Collas was gonna kill AmigaOS and use Linux. A lot of Amiga users lost in that time, still remember the heated discussions on forums.
Good thing that he left.


No, he was planning to base the new AmigaOS around the Linux Kernal rather than the QNX Kernal.  

Seeing how a similar plan worked out for Apple (and as long as the user facing stuff was Amiga-like) it was a shame that it never came about.

Collas slept with one of the Annex girls at the show before he was fired, Ted Waite and he got in a fight about his married president of Amiga Inc sleeping with what was basically an employee of gateway at the show.  Collas left.


Bloody hell. I've been exposed to so much shenanigans in the Amiga world, I actually can't work out if you are joking or not.  :-o
