@ Haranguer

First it was Bill then it was Barry now we have Todd... well at least we seem to have got off the "B"s for now... :)

Once again the very long and very sad saga of the never ending grim fairy tale that is Amiga continues, ok lets do as you suggest and "give them a chance"... :)

So can we lock this thread now until something real happens... nuff said... ;)

Hey Franko, if you remember what I posted in a previous thread... We get a few companies each year promising to be the saviour of the Amiga, after a while you just tune it out. No reason to lock a thread over it, let people have their fun!

Again good luck to any company that thinks it can use the Amiga/Commodore brand in modern times :)


True... very true, but the problem is with so many threads about these days me script writers are having a hard job keeping up with em all... :)

Hmm... Bill, Ben, Barry... Todd

D'ya think this could be genuine this time as at least the guy has managed to think up a name that doesn't begin with B... :)

Yes, 1st initial is obviously a requirement before trying to buy into some part of this mess. Todd must have failed to get the memo.

I'll assume a typo on your part.
B(s) is one thing.
BS quite another.

No typo... I was just being polite by not saying "that's one hell of a lot of fecking B@$!@&*s"

But BS fit's the "Bill" just as well... :D

Heh, either way...
But I have a serious question for you.

When one makes a statement it is very difficult to determine whom it will affect and in what way.
There is an issue troubling me lately, and I've posted about it elsewhere.
My quandry is whether to throw it open to the public or not.
Any advice, or should I just go back and hide in a cave?

Just say it man and sod the consequences, go on spill the beans, let the cat out of the bag, confess your sins, sing like a jailbird... :D

Course it better be good or we'll give you a roasting for it... ;)

Oooh Number is replying... here it comes... :eek:

@ Number6

Don't take this the wrong way but... I've never quite understood your fascination with raking through all these posts and sites and statements issued by anybody and everybody about all the shady goings on behind the scenes when it comes to the Amiga !!!

Is it a professional interest you have or just a hobby, to be honest as much as I love all things Commodore & Amiga I couldn't be bothered with who says what and who claims what anymore, personally I just like ripping the piss out of the whole thing and the numpties behind all the statements... :)

Kinda prefer like yesterday on here to read and try and help out folk with genuine Amiga hardware/software questions than all this malarky about IPs, copyrights etc...

Although these threads are good for a laugh though but nothing more... :)

Yes, but what does it all MEAN, Basil?

Dunno Cybil !!!

Even though that pdf looked short, I just can't be bothered reading any of these things anymore, it's far easier just to do what ever you want with the Amiga name cos at the end of the day who's gonna bother trying to sue everyone... :)

Mind you those lawyers have had and have a job for life with the silly buggers who still argue about it in courts, they're the only ones still making money from the Amiga these days... :(

Seems like you don't just need a good lawyer, a firm believing in gawd almighty and a wee prayer is a must in Amiga legal cases... :D
