I am actually quite surprised that this story is returning. It was common knowledge in the AMIGA community at the time of Collas's dismissal. This was never a secret so how is it that so many here seem to not know anything about it? Or is this the younger generation of Amigans just now catching up (those that did not get to attend the shows / were not around at the time)?


You've got to remember that many users would not have had internet access at the time and were mainly only in contact with other users in their local area.

I knew many other Amiga users in my local area around 91-94, by 97 in knew only 4 or so people that still used an Amiga.  I didn't get my own internet connection until 99 and was the first of my friends to get internet access.
Prior to that our only source of information was from the magazines we bought, which also wanted to present a family image and so didn't publish such stories.

I think it should be easy to understand why so many people are unaware of this part of the Amiga's history.
