Yeah, I officially no longer give a crap who legally owns anything about the Amiga, since none of them seem very interested in making any of it easily available to the Amiga community. I say let's throw our support behind the open Kickstart effort, use our outdated OS of choice, and let these people rot.

Yeah, well, I'll shed a tear for the poor infringed parties when they start demonstrating the tiniest iota of concern for or interest in the actual Amiga community.

What has the community done for AI lately that would make AI concerned about the well being of the community?
Wait, what? When did it become the potential customer's responsibility to cozy up to a business and agree to whatever product they're interested in producing, regardless of whether it has anything to do with what the customer would want? What kind of Soviet-industrial-complex crap is that?
