Rats leaving a sinking ship, or something else?

I think a moderator should be unbiaised when he's actually moderating. Other then that, I don't know if he should be devoid of having his own opinion.

I agree, there is no reason why a moderator can not give his views in a thread if he is not actively moderating within that thread.   It would make a job of moderator pretty boring if they couldn't do something they evidently like to do in the first place, communicate their thoughts to others.

It could be use for delaying tactics i.e. draw the battle out on the cheap.

That was the first thing to pop into my mind when I read about the law firm dumping Amiga Inc.  If it is that, it's way too late as the judge is about to rule on the sanctions and having or not having counsel won't impact on that since they had counsel submit their replies already.  If the judge pulls the plug, I could see him delaying it's execution till Amiga Inc has time to find new counsel and file an appeal.  I just don't see Amiga Inc being able to secure another counsel without having some fresh cash to offer.  

Who's going to take them when they have just stiffed their last counsel?

well mdma, i have gotton the benefit of os3.9 i've been vere happy with that, so amiga has achived a few good things.

Bad news, that was Hack & Patch's release, not Amiga Incs. Worse yet, Amiga Inc never even saw a dime off it because of a despute over WB 3.5 with H&P.  The worst thing about WB 3.9, it had illegally copied code in it.

Anyway, my point was not to troll, but to put things in perspective. Amiga inc are only guilty of incompetence - I dont think that they are "Criminals" or intended to screw anyone over.

Perhaps under UK law, but under US laws (well US Code) I have very little doubt they have not broken several laws.

You absolutely do not take on a company that is registered, easily traced, has a public profile and can be made accountable in courts. Not unless you are the worlds worst ever supervillian

Ever hear of WorldCom or Enron?

The main point was that Hyperion's marketing stratagy with regards to OS 4 is not more restricted than Genesi's in fact Genesi won't even support existing hardware that MOS apparently already runs on.

Hold the phone, didn't BBRV already state that if someone wants to port MOS to A1, they would give assistance to whomever is doing the port?
