At least we know they're still alive.....


Yes, and here I thought we were going to have a long hot summer without comic relief!  

Now I'm waiting for the treasure trove of stuff Wood bought from AI's landlord to show up.

I don't know if I can agree with you. It's probably not a popular view, but I think Buck should persue his right to damages. Putting aside all personal issues people have with Buck, as valid as they may be, Amiga Inc did not deliver DE(Which at the time *WAS* called OS4 as this flyer shows).

Let the egg throwing commence


Damages?  What damages?  DEad has and is been a complete and utter disaster.  The porting of DEad would have ment nothing significant of sales increases, which means it didn't do much, if any harm to Genesi.  Let's take a step forward for the sake of arguement and say Genesi won damages against AI.  The only person going to win is Genesi's legal team with their fees.  AI owes lots of people already who are ahead of Genesi in waiting to get their court awarded monies.  

Raquel and Bill would be far better off using those tens of thousands of dollars and sink into a R&D Peg based on ARM.  Atleast they could find a decent embedded market to peddle their wares.

Well they COULD start yet another "Get legal" -FUDcampaign like they did for MorphOS long ago...


AI's only worry is DEad.  I'm sure they have given up on OS4 as a lost cause that will not generate them any revenue.  You can tell by AI's outreach to the Amiga Community on how much they give a crap, zero.  As for AROS, the sources are available for download, happy hunting.
