Evert Carton leaves Hyperion

[jorkany]

Evert Carton, one of two known managing partners at Hyperion, has stepped down and in fact claims to have completely abandoned the Amiga scene. Evert is best remembered for referring to AROS as "probably illegal".

Evert is best remembered for referring to AROS as "probably illegal".

That's not what I know him for. I don't know if he did or did not say that, but I think that other things he'd done/said are far more memorable to me than your maybe AROS thing.

Such as...?

BTW who is managing Hyperion now?

Most likely Ben Hermans, but that is just a guess.

So let me get this right now... Everad Cartoon Maker The 3rd or whatever he/she/it or whats'is'name is has retarded from Hyperion for whom he/she/it/what worked for a wee while but never owned or used an Amiga or had any interest in the Amiga... :confused:

So what did Englbert Carboardboxpacker actually do at Hypreion perhaps he/she/it/what was in charge of recycling packaging or summit, or maybe he/she/it/what was the Janitor or even the Janitors cat...

Evert was the sales manager for quite some time. Keep in mind that Hyperion was a game republishing company for a few years before they got involved with OS4.

and...

What's this got to do the price of lumbago in the darkest reaches of southern Peckham... :confused:

I'd never even heard of Evlin Cagagoogoo before this thread appeared, so what's all the fuss about is he/she/it/what gawd or something... :confused:

Because Evert represented somewhere from 25% - 50% of Hyperion. Also, he was a co-founder of Hyperion, the other founder being Ben Hermans.

It's also a little strange that he would decide to publicly announce he was leaving after having been pretty much out of the loop for the last few years. If most didn't know who he was and that he worked at Hyperion, then why even bring it up now?
