I don't follow these things as well as you all apparently try to do so I had no idea there was a difference between Amiga Inc and Amiga Development.

I'm just a lowly computer user waiting for AOS4. I had already decided Pegasos I, II, etc/Morphos to be things I would not be purchasing,  I just don't see a future in them and already have enough 'orphans' without buying new ones, so no amount of bad attitude from people involved in it really mattered there. If OS4 never comes out, no skin off my back and only $50 out of my pocket which I would just have wasted some other way I'm sure. I've already made it back by not going to more than 5 movies that turned out to be crap anyways, buying some used DVDs instead of new ones and a myriad of other ways.

It would seem that anyone owning the rights to Serial Number 73571532  would be able to contest anyone else using the Amiga name for a computer. My guess would be, that went to Escom, then Gateway with Amiga Inc having a right to use it.

All in all I don't see any value in any of the discussion here. Never have, still don't.
