Amiga Inc lost the trademark to "Amiga" on January 3rd, 2003

[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.

Ok, my turn.

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

@Wayne

You seem to have forgotten that Bill McEwen is, and has been in the past, the exact same way wherein public statements are concerned.

I don't remember Bill or any A.Inc person personally attacking Amiga customers without provocation, something that BB has done a few times in the past.

(Those of you who judge Genesi on the personality of Bill Buck are not bloody likely to buy any system in any event.)

I must be in the minority, I'm still on the fence.  If I see something I like from Genesi, then I will buy it.  I didn't like Escom, but I still bought an Amiga from them.

@amimonkey

Is it not true that you offered to sell the site to Amiga Inc for a large amount of cash, but they declined?

Nah, are you sure it wasn't Genesi? :-P (joke!)

[Vincent]

- Amiga Inc has no known employees (non-paid people are called `Volunteers`)

Does this mean that Garry Hare is not an employee of A.Inc? :lol:

[Vincent]

@Wayne

I'd hope some of the money would go towards the releasing of products aswell ;-)

[Vincent]

If real managers -- such as Garry Hare -- were brought in, Amiga Inc might stand a chance, and a new Amiga might have been born.

Simple question:

Is Garry Hare part of Amiga Inc's management or not then?

It's not meant to be flame bait, it's just a simple question.

[Vincent]

Thanks Wayne.

As I've said before I don't ready anything from Fleecy at all.

More bs then, but from who I'm not saying :-P

[Vincent]

@Wayne

Hyperion is not really in this discussion.  They only have the right to AmigaOS.

I read it as zudobug meaning Amiga Inc.  NOT Hyperion.  Amiga Inc has no control over Hyperion, so Hyperion does not belong in this topic.

I'd have to agree with zudo, bad news for Amiga Inc is good news for Genesi, which is the direction A.o is always leaning towards.

[Vincent]

T_Bone confessed:
O c'mon, we like you!  :-D

Are you sure? :-P

[Vincent]

Anti-Amiga Inc != pro-ANYTHING.

That's my point.

If this site is leaning towards Genesi, isn't it at all even possible that it's 100% natural simply because GENESI HAS A PRODUCT AVAILABLE whereas Amiga Inc doesn't?

I don't think you'll be pro Amiga Inc even when they have a product out.  You'll be pro Hyperion/Eyetech, but I can't see you being pro A.Inc.  This is due to your hatred towards certain members of the management at A.Inc, which I can't see change either. (I know you've explained this, so you don't need to say anymore about the management)

@alx

Read page 9 (I think) Wayne has posted reasons why this thread is still in this section.

Oops!  With all the comments here, I'd managed to completely miss that :roll:

I'm not surprised :-D

Hmmm, ok, my last post was deleted, so I'll just post it again.  It's not slanderous, or personal attacks, it's the way I see things here.

@redrumloa

Everytime A.Inc is in the same thread as Wayne, I always see Wayne put them down (with good reason).

Everytime I see Wayne and BBRV in the same thread as each other all I see is praise (they do have a product out, but I can't see that being the only reason).  Maybe it's got something to do with getting PayPal money from BBRV, I don't know.

But Wayne certainly has it in for Amiga Inc.  Anyone who's seen his posts are bound to see the same thing.

Don't ASSUME because when you ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U & ME.

I WASN'T ASSUMING anything!  I was simply saying what I saw.

Wayne's done a good job of keeping this site open with all the problems, but there's no reason for him to aggressively attack A.Inc everytime they are mentioned.

I might be going from here sooner than BBRV getting Amiga's name if this is the way it'll continue.

Don't worry, if I go I won't let the door hit my ass on the way out. ;-)
