A-EON and Amiga On The Lake

[Iggy]

I thought you guys were fighting...? :confused:

Apparently not any more, which is a good thing.
Even when things weren't well between the two companies, Aaron was still doing things for the community.
He sent me a cpu cooler for one of the MorphOS developers X5000 systems.
And he was still selling accessories and software to our community.

Glad to hear they worked things out, since it gives me a US distributor to buy Aeon products from.

I would have told ATOl to go fook themselves after that very public hissy fit.   But I guess that's why  I am not in business

Yes...that sounds like a Welshman's solution. :lol:

But it wouldn't have benefited us in the US, so I'm glad Trevor is more mature (than both of us).

Odd argument, a bit judgmental.
I would expect anyone who sold me something to back it up, regardless of their relationship with their supplier.
And "hissy fit"? That's the second time that immature phrase has been thrown around.
Since no one is really aware of what caused the original fall out, we can loop back to the first sentence in this post.

This is the land of amiga, where drama rules and people selling stuff vanish without a trace, sometimes with other people's money. We've already had a situation where this specific dealer has announced they no longer want to do business with a specific supplier, who happens to sell very expensive things that can (as all manufactured goods) have defects. What happens if I spend a couple thousand dollars, the device is defective and whatever happened before between these two businesses happens again?  Past history of amiga businesses shows that it could be years before I get the device replaced or refunded.  As I said, I'm carefully optimistic and I will be keeping an eye on AOTL - I'd much rather buy from a local dealer.

Agreed. I'm relieved to have a US dealer for Aeon hardware, and I don't expect Aaron to disappear with my money.
I had $150 in credit with him when this situation first came to a head, and not only did I redeem that, but he threw in some additional credit that allowed me to buy a gift for a friend.

Anyway, its resolved.

Personally, I don't have a problem with JJ's speech as words don't offend me, only people do.
But hopefully we won't let this thread get too far off topic, or spend too much time denigrating my friend Aaron.
This situation has been resolved in a professional, and beneficial manner, and I now have a US Aeon distributor again.
So I'm really happy with the resolution and thank both parties for working this out, as I'm fond of the people in both companies and have had good purchasing experiences with each of them.
