"Buzz Word has heard that Amiga are about to get a new CEO but it won't be Garry Hare; apparently the whole Genesi/ Garry Hare story was a setup designed to produce confusion. The new CEO is a man who will bring many millions of investment dollars back into the company. The Man's name? Jim Collas."


I liked the man, but it'd be very unfortunate for him to come back after his sudden leave. He has a lot to explain. It may be pure gossip tho.

Yeah, much better communication and marketing towards the community. However, this was the era when the "I'm excited about" type communications appeared. Despite that, I liked the man, and I still percept it as things have gone wrong despite his best efforts. I may be wrong though, but he left me with that impression.

But the sudden and complete cease of communication with the community suggests that his "excitement" and devotion towards the community was not that real as we felt.

It's maybe a flintstones like rollercoaster, where the engine provided is two hole in the lower part of it for your feet.

"Without Bill taking over, we would not have AmigaONE and soon a new OS..."

and

"I liked him, seemed more open to the community.. though i wasnt that happy for the idea of an Linux box..."

What would you call the AmigaONE as it is today? :-)
