You can shuffle rights and names, but you can't shuffle blame

Tell them that. Morally I agree, but I seem to remember Amiga Inc during the era of fake^h^h^h^h CEO Garry Hare mentioning that Amiga Inc was a totally different company and had no obligations to past debts.

Yeah, Im with you. Its a legal dodge, and I presume nobody felt it was worth throwing lawyer money at it to get him to come clean.
 
There's a site out there that outlines in a lot of detail all the maneuverings from that era. Its sort of interesting, if you have a rainy afternoon to spend.
 
It also brings into question whether amiga.inc ever actually had rights to what they say they had rights to.

I've read the site, it lays things out pretty well. There is not much that I didn't already know, but the author really put effort into compiling the info. Most of it seems accurate.
 
This brings up a question. Where you around during the Garry Harre episode? Thinking back *WOW* what a sh**-storm that started! Come to think of it that explosion was larger this this one, so far.

Yeah, it mostly compiles all the documents and scans, which is nice.
 
And no, I had absolutely no idea anything happened with amiga's post commodore until the last 2 or 3 years, believe it or not.
 
I got rid of my trusty old 1200 in 98 (I believe), and figured it was all over.
 
It was within the last couple of years that I realized just what had transpired, and my mind was formally blown :)

I thought they both ran 3.x software if it doesn't hit the hardware ?

YES! Now you've got it. And have you used Wine lately? ?It's actually getting useful.


The only things I run in it are the Steel Panthers remakes, and King of Dragon Pass. Its coming along nicely though

Yeah, it scares me. When it was first introduced all I could think was "this will never work".
And now, sometimes, it does.


I only really use it for games. It works great for 2D stuff. 3D.. it depends. I managed to get Unreal 2 to run but I havent tried it much.

Half the PC games I want to play need DOSBOX rather than WINE  ;)
