"Amiga Delaware's claims are barred by its unclean hands."

Amiga is unclean! UNCLEAN!! Throw it on the plague wagon!


"Hyperion is entitled to an injunction prohibiting Amiga Delaware from using the name 'Amiga' in its corporate name, in corporate sponsorships of public facilities, and from using the Amiga trademarks"

Now Hyperion will try to steal the Amiga name from AInc. This is turning into something out of a bad anime.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Can someone clear this up for me a bit? I understand the anger directed at AI due to all the promises and lies. What's new to me is that people don't like Hyperion, what did they do that annoyed people? I missed all of that.


HERE is a blast from the past.

Of course, THIS website brings much reading entertainment.

As someone else said, you had to be there. There is just way too much history here to put in a single forum post. For many years Hyperion was given a get out of jail free card by a large section of the kommunity, because they were developing teh true Amiga(tm). Many think they abused this privilege and launched campaigns of misinformation against projects, companies and individuals. Additionally it now appears most of what their detractors have said over the years have been 100% accurate. Court documents certainly clear up a lot.
