The day that happens I'm leaving the Amiga.

You have no idea how happy that would make me...

I'll be leaving here aswell, which is a shame because I've got mates here now :-(

If BBRV's part of the show, I'm going and not looking back.

Edit by nOMAAM : Personal atack

If he buys the rights to Amiga, then I'm going for good.



I was wondering when this would've got edited ;-)

I'm getting used to that from BB.

Joke of the month?

I really hope so.

@greenboy

I thought all that Garry Hare stuff was bs aswell.

I'm not an A.Inc man, I'm sitting on the fence to see what's going to happen, but if BB's a main part of the Amiga's future, then I won't be here.

[Vincent]

@red

True.  I don't like them either.

It's the personal attacks and general bs that's coming from BB AND A.Inc that's really pissing me off.  If A.Inc posted here, then I'd give them what for aswell.

And btw, I would leave here for good.  It's not worth staying just for Talk-about.

The name's Vincent btw ;-)

It's not hard for your peg to be faster than a classic Amiga.

I've got a Win2k box here that's not mine.  And we have NEVER bought anything from M$.  I'm not going to buy anything from BBRV either.

I'm supporting Eyetech and Hyperion because they're doing some good work, ok it's all late, but they're dealing with A.Inc.

If it was just A.Inc doing the Amiga, then I would've left a while ago.

[Vincent]

I've never said that I wouldn't buy it.  I said in a previous post that I'm on the fence.

I'm just getting fed up of everything that's going on in the Amiga/Genesi world of BS.

Cheers for the mail BBRV, I stand corrected.

I'll have to see A1 and Pegasos working before I decide which way to go.  I won't let the fact that I don't like BB stop me from buying a Pegasos, I'm just really fed up of the scene.

I can see myself leaving if no-one grows up (and I know I'm included in that).



Even if I leave, I'll still be using my classic 68k Amiga.

@Targhan

Unfortunately I can't afford to attend AmiWest.  Hell, I can't even afford to attend a UK show :-(

I would've liked to have gone to see what the announcements would be.  I guess I'll have to catch up on it in the news.

@Zudo:  I'm the same.  I don't trust a lot of people here, either people like me or the people trying to make the change.  The only people I like and trust that are in a position to do something are Eyetech, Hyperion and a certain bunch of people on here that have certain jobs.  (I'm not saying anything so they're kept out of one of my arguments).

@seer

I've never been bothered about the rivalry between computers/consoles.  If I want one I'll buy it.  All the computers/consoles I've ever had:

3 Spectrum 128k's, 1 48k
2 MegaDrives, 1 SNES
2 PSX (the original PS1's), 1 PS2
1 Gameboy, 1 GameGear
1 A1200T, 1 A500, 1 A600
1 Amstrad PCW
3 PC's

I'm after a GameCube just now aswell, so I've got no problem with having a Pegasos or A1 or both.  I just don't like certain people in the situations regarding them.

@Jose

If you read BBRV's posts to BSberg (:lol:) you'll know what I mean.  If you don't I suggest you read Wayne's post on here aswell.

@Tigger

I *thought* all the Garry Hare stuff was bs.  I still don't know quite what to make of it.  I never heard the Fleecy theory and I don't much care.  I don't read what he's got to say, and I don't usually read what other people say about it either (especially on here eh Wayne? ;-), jk)  I don't even visit the forum that Fleecy does his speeches on.  I couldn't even tell you the name of it just now either.  I have no opinion of Fleecy at all.  I was going out of the Amiga scene when he was becoming more important (or more talkative), so I haven't really had any basis to form an opinion of him.

@ensu

I was only insulting BB, not RV.  Personally I don't think I've had any contact with RV.  Mind you, I haven't really had much contact with BB either, just enough to form an opinion tho ;-)

@tomas

I can't remember anything saying that BBRV were trying to gain the Amiga name just to screw over Amiga Inc.



@all

I haven't changed my opinion of BB, but after today he's gone up slightly in my opinion, he's been quite courteous and helpfull - he even fulfilled a request I made that I bet he wasn't expecting.  Which I must say thanks for (even if I still don't agree with some things).

I'm still not happy with some things that BB has done, but I might change my tune in future, who knows?  There might be a better chance that I'll post a *good* joke in future! :-P

That reminds me, where's that Groaner's Reloaded thread?.........

Hell, if I had $335 (or 670 considering it's software), I'd have tried to register it myself....

I think we would've all tried that :-D

[Vincent]

Hmmm, I just remembered something.

"registered workbench aswell?"  (or something like that)

I hope that doesn't mean you'll use the Workbench name for MOS! :-x

AOS is WB and WB is AOS.

Tomas wrote:
What else should he do with it? Buy it then give it back to AmigaINC for free? i really doubt so...

I don't think so either, but if they're a registered company, then there's nothing he can do about A.Inc using the name at all.

@odin

I'm also on the middle ground, but I'm more for A1/AOS than I am for Peg/MOS

[Vincent]

Nice way to kill the thread odin. :-x

Boring git! :-P

[Vincent]

Well, if A.Inc are trying to get this sorted they don't have long to do it.

It takes about 6 months for things to go through, and BB submitted his form on the 4th of January.

It'll be interesting to see who gets it.  I still have big doubts about BB though.

[Vincent]

@zudo

Ok, my turn.

Quote:
And while accusing Wayne, you have to admire his self restraint he presents at times.

Well I don't. He shows very little restraint. Always jumping in to defend bbrv and fuel the flames. I wish he would just let go and say what he feels. Get it out of his system and stfu. Same goes for Buck.

Crap like this isn't doing anyone any good. If it is a joke, it's not funny.

I've now decided the only reason I am sticking around is to see OS4 in action. If any of this does enough damage to delay that anymore, I'm out of here. Screw this.

I've noticed this about Wayne aswell.  He is very quick to anger at A.Inc's news/fud whatever, but when it coems to BBRV he's got a completely different tune.

We all know that he hates A.Inc and likes BBRV, but why all the bashing?  Blomberg said it best:

**LICK**

@Neko

It would be hilarious if BBRV actually are successful in the application, since he could wipe Amiga Inc. out if he wanted to.

Wrong.  Amiga Inc is a registered company.  They have the rights to the Amiga Inc name.  If BBRV get the rights to the Amiga trademark, there's nothing they can do about Amiga Inc.  They would *both* be allowed to use the name.

Anyways, as someone pointed out, Amiga is still a registered trademark in Europe.  Which means that A.Inc can keep the name here.

@zudo (again ;-))

If amiga inc die and Wayne does end up with the trademark (not that I believe any of this crap) then he should just sell it to those Spanish lesbians and use the money to start a new site like genesi.org or welovebbrv.org (bad joke... all the rage.)

:lol:  Unfortunately, I agree with you. :-(

@redrumloia :-P

This thread is getting long and veering OT, it may go locky locky soon   :-o

Hmmm, I can't remember it being on topic since page 1! :lol:

@wonea

NB: Good luck to Genesi, having the Amiga name would be a great boost. I wish them luck.

You're having a laugh ain't ya? :-x
