Is Amiga Inc (KMOS) still alive?
« on: July 15, 2008, 02:16:21 PM »
Looking at Amiga Inc's website there has been nothing posted since the first of  February.  Have they died? Transfered the IP to another shell company?  What's up?  I notice that Amiga Development has added Linux to it's dotNet skills but what about the so called parent company?

Should we refer to them as "the shill formerly known as KMOS?"




Actually Gary Hare is a real person!

KMOS AKA Amiga Inc should be hit with a boing ball.  Why did Bill & Co. work so hard to transfer the assets and name to KMOS if they weren't going to use them?  Was it just a game to screw ex-employees and creditors?

can't Hyperion's lawyers ask that the case be dismissed on the basis of Amiga Inc/KMOS/Amino admitted insolvency?  Hyperion have done a great job, if they could just get this lawsuit cloud to go away we'd have OS4 for Efika, Pegasus and MacMini by now.

The big fear is that if KMOS/Amiga Inc lose the lawsuit they'll sell the domain to some Portuguese/Spanish dating service...

Billy boy made a mistake when he fail to keep Amino (Amiga Washington) registered as a Corporation.  Do you think if Hyperion wins they'll rename themselves "Amiga Inc" or has the name lost all it's value?

Amiga Inc doesn't sell one "Amiga-compatible" product. Never have and prbably never will.  THe only thing keeping the afloat is Amiga Development India, which is really just an Indian IT company called Ruksun.  I think we have to fact the fact that the name Amiga will probably belong to a bunch of Indian dotNet developers.  

Hyperion, on the other hand at least produces something Amiga.I hope they do manage to have a profit, if we lost them, we'd be on our own.  Not that that is bad of course...

But if Amiga Inc were really solvent. they why the fun and games with KMOS to escape debt?  Some of the debt was back salaries, one doesn't run away from back salaries or even have back salaries if one is a running a solvent company.  The whole KMOS scam works against Amiga Inc/KMOS.  Why would a financial solvent company do such a desperate and unethical (though not illegal) act?  For Fun?

It's a complicated case, because only one of the original entities still exists, Hyperion, Amiga Inc (Washington) was deregistered in 2004...

But the lack of press releases from a company who's sole product seems to be press releases begs the question as to whether Amiga Inx/KMOS still exists in any meaningful way.

Somebody in Seattle should go take a peak and see if the offices still exist...
