Evert Carton leaves Hyperion

[Franko]

Who or what Evert Carton (odd name !!!) is or was and what he/she had to do with Hyperion, well I haven't the foggiest...

Should I care... Erm, No...
Do I care... Erm, No...

Did he/she really exist and actually do anything Amiga related, hmmm... who knows, who cares, why bother...

Only thing I know about Hyperion is they sold me a lump of jobbies called OS4.0 and that's about it, other than that have a nice day (or a bad one if you really want too)...

(seeing as it's Easter I'm off to nail some poor sod to a cross... cooeee, old Mrs Johnstone...)

[Franko]

This is what came to mind when I saw the name the first time:

Evert - transitive verb: overthrow, upset


Carton - noun: a box or container usually made of cardboard and often of corrugated cardboard

Ahh... so "Evert Carton" really means "Overthrow the Eggbox"...

I'm all for that... never liked them Xbox thingies anyway...

[Franko]

So let me get this right now... Everad Cartoon Maker The 3rd or whatever he/she/it or whats'is'name is has retarded from Hyperion for whom he/she/it/what worked for a wee while but never owned or used an Amiga or had any interest in the Amiga... :confused:

So what did Englbert Carboardboxpacker actually do at Hypreion perhaps he/she/it/what was in charge of recycling packaging or summit, or maybe he/she/it/what was the Janitor or even the Janitors cat...

All I can figure out is he/she/it/what (and I mean Eglleburgle Candynosenoamiga) is now out of a job, wonder if he/she/it/what could get a job at "they who shall not be mentioned's" place doing nothing there as he/she/it/what may not have any interest in their products either and he/she/it/what could do the same type of work (or lack of it) that he/she/it/what did or never did at Hyperion...

That's my take on this sad little story anywhoo...

Now who fancies a cuppa n some shortbread...

PS: Does anyone have a spare spare that I could borrow, I seem to have misplaced mine somewhere...

[Franko]

Evert was the sales manager for quite some time. Keep in mind that Hyperion was a game republishing company for a few years before they got involved with OS4.

and...

What's this got to do the price of lumbago in the darkest reaches of southern Peckham... :confused:

I'd never even heard of Evlin Cagagoogoo before this thread appeared, so what's all the fuss about is he/she/it/what gawd or something... :confused:

[Franko]

Did they throw a retirement party for Everad Constantanople and did he/she/it/what get nice wee carriage clock or watch to remind he/she/it/what about all that time he/she/it/what will have now to do nothing until he/she/it/what kicks the bucket...

[Franko]

Hmmm... this thread was supposed to be about poor wee Everton Carbuncles retirement from he/her/its/whats job or whatever at Hyperactive... :confused:

So how did the subject get onto AmigaSTIncK and copymerights/IPees and all that malarky !!!

It's dark in here... I'm going to hard boil one of me chocolate easter eggs... now where did I leave those matches...

[Franko]

Sorry, back to the tribute to Eric Cantona...

Ooh... Ahh... Can...too...nah...

Poor we Erica all he/she/it/what wanted to do was say toodle pip on his/her/its/whats retirement and ends up being dragged though the dirt with AmigastINCk claptrap...

Never mind Ernie now you've retired you can pay even less attention to all this daft past history of Amiga stuff even lessely (Hmmm... lessely, is that a word !!!) now...

Happy retirement, Arnie and enjoy all the time you have left avoiding the mad/sad/bad world of Amiga forums and all of us still trapped in an infinite time loop...

[Franko]

I'm eating pancakes!

Now that you mention it... we aint had any new recipes lately in the group... time for a new recipe and this time no nannas I don't like nannas...

[Franko]

There's a very simple way to find out who actually own the rights to Amiga kickstart/OS etc...

Put the WorkBench disk images and the KickStart ROM image files up on a website for free download...

Then simply wait for whomever claims to own them to take the appropriate legal action and actually pursue it all the way to a court of law...

I've already done this and not once did I get a genuine complaint from anyone claiming to own the Kickstart ROM Images or WorkBench Disk Sets, the only complaints I got were from the dickhead copyright mafia on forums such as this screaming blue murder about piracy... :lol:

I'd personally bet my house on the fact that even if someone emerged from the shadows claiming to own the Copyright/IP on these things and they were challenged in a court of law that none of the claims would either be able to be proven nor have any legal basis on which to stand...

Trouble is certain folks in Amigaland are nothing but a bunch of big fearties who cower like chickens when it comes to proving and putting an end to all this BS/ speculation & myths surrounding just who has a legal claim to what when it comes to the Amiga...

[Franko]

Oh bunch of locals...
Evert is a Dutch name. It means Boar-heart (wild boars were the lions of pre-roman times, as these creatures were big and verocious)

Ahh... So Fatancienthornedhairypig Carboardboxmaker is in fact the actual person/thing who/what has retarded from Hyperactivesugarplumfairy...

(It's all doubledutch too me... )

(ooohhh... I've just nicked Iggy's medal... )

[Franko]

Brilliant idea Franko.
It would require someone willing to stand up to a legal challenge, but it could help resolve this matter.
This idea deserves a thread of its own, possibly sticky.

I'm up for it...

Never had anyone (including the British Government) that has challenged me on something "legal" and who didn't back down before it went to court cos they knew they didn't have a leg to stand on...

Trouble is for such a thing to get noticed properly you need the copyright mafia to stop their pathetic whining and demand that any links to my site be removed cos it may damage Amiga.org...

It needs as much exposure as possible for anyone who thinks they can genuinely claim to own these rights to notice it and take the appropriate action if they think they can prove it legally...

It's the whiners/ know alls and crapbags that need to keep their gobs shut and then maybe, just maybe the good folks of Amigaland can put an end to all this nonsense once and for all...

[Franko]

That is not possible. People might dispute who owns it, but the fact is that somebody owns it.

Yeah... but that's the question we all want answered "Who does own what "...

Of course with all the grey/ shady and murky dealings over the years it may actually be proven in a court of law that "no-one" can actually now claim full rights on any of it after the whole shambles and "grey" dealings that have gone on over the years...

Myself I really couldn't care less about folk making such stuff free to download until someone steps forward and proves to the world that they actually own it, until that day then most likely these debates will continue as nothing more than speculation and rumours that for some odd reason we here in Amigaland seem to love so much...

As I've said simply make the stuff available on enough websites and see if anyone steps forward to challenge it, and forget about USA laws that may be upcoming, USA law does not apply to the rest of the planet as some would have you believe...

[Franko]

Marg bar Amrika!

Hmm... all those translator thingies on the web and all they come up with is "Marg bar Amrika" ... Ruddy useless...

[Franko]

Poor wee Evarad, all he wanted to do was retire quietly and he end up in crossfire of Copyright Wars part 1006...

Think you'd better come out of retirement and say something Englebert...
