@greenboy

By the way, expect to see a T-shirt bundled with the Phoenix Pegasos for $299 offer. Have a nice day : }

It's a nice offer. :-)

Too bad you think that I don't agree with you enough to deserve decent treatment. That I don't do what you think is right, don't share your view of what should be, what things should not be. So that would make it all right to cross lines of politeness and local posting guidelines, right?

Well if you talk to be like I`m some sort of little kid idiot how do you expect me to react. Talking down to someone won`t get you a idlle widdle bit of wespect!
(see what I mean)

Oh and I don`t care if you agree with me or not.

 

So I'll just talk about WHAT ACTUALLY IS. Some of you put faith in a company that did not follow through. And your pride is all tied up in it. I wouldn't let that be such a big deal - I at one time had faith in them too, In Phoenix. But nothing went according to agreement. And I got over it.

Actually as I pointed out earlier but you obviously haven`t bothered to read....I HAVE $50 TIED UP IN IT! Not just pride!

Slight aside here to those who feel they can comment on any topic that suits them, but I can't: GET REAL : }

Eh? Erm your free to say what you want on here as much as the next guy/gal.

Some people HAVE asked for money back. And some did not get answers back. And some who worked did not get paid. I know some of you read ANN, so you've seen some of the people who claim to have gone through this and that.

Are you saying Amiga.Inc haven`t paid people that have done work for them? If so examples please?

My commenting on this has little to do with Genesi.

LOL

But if Genesi was doing this kind of thing in front of me, I would be wondering how and when to dump them off my dance card. I can stomach delays, I can stand some chaotic planning that makes my work hard. But I don't like dealing with companies that stop communicating entirely with the public when they have engaged public trust and in the form of some kind of thing some here would like to think was written up as a goodwill loan.

But it wasn't.

I don`t think it was a loan, I am prepared to lose my money if it all goes down the tubes, at least I`ll have tried to support A.Inc.

I agree that it is really frustrating to not hear much from A.Inc, but I can understand why they feel reluctant to speak about anything, people attack them for it. So they shut up...and still they are attacked. :-? No win situation.

By the way, expect to see a T-shirt bundled with the Phoenix Pegasos for $299 offer. Have a nice day : }

Nah I`m not interested in Peg/Morphos in the slightest, but good luck with your $299 offer, I just hope for your sake it works out.

Later

@herewegoagain.

I hope they are there too, if they don`t show I can see the knives drawn......beware the ides of march!!!! :-D

[tonyw]

Some are fans who still Believe. Greenboy has had reason to Disbelieve and has gone looking for a more dynamic company to partner with. Good luck, gb, I hope you have more success there.

I don't Believe in AInc anymore. My Faith has been worn down by years of neglect. I paid $ to Phase5 for a PPC, then lost that gamble. I bought the DE SDK but it seems to have been left to rot. I bought the $50 'coupon', knowing that it was probably another $50 down the drain. That's OK, I intended to lose it, like a gambler at the pokies (slots).

I still have Faith in Eyetech to deliver me a new board to play with. At least I'll be able to play with that. And PLAY is the operative word. Most of the Phoenix crowd are trying to make money out of computing hardware/software/whatever. Their demand for action is a bit more urgent than mine, which is merely for a desktop toy to play with.

Let's face it, the Amiga desktop will never be more than a toy until the Adobes and Microsofts of this world provide applications for it. I don't need them, I can have fun writing do-nothing software, designing do-nothing hardware and porting unknown languages to an unused platform. When I have to do serious work, it's back to the PC.

At the moment, Genesi seem to be the go-ahead, keen-to-do-business crowd. I wish them well, I hope it develops. I hope Ainc develops, too. I will depend on neither.

I'll play with my XE G4, with Linux, then when AOS4 comes out, I'll play with that. It really isn't something to get all hot about, it's just a toy.

tony: better late than never , is a word we all want to hear soon , i am not a blind follower but i will wait for os4 and my a1xe800.

but when and why, time will tell.

anyway the tactics genesi uses are mostly the reason why i am not choosing them.

also: u said u lost a ppc, i have lost many and that was DCE/P5 , which is Bplan and genesi more or less, so dont be suprised to hear such things again soon, when the hw bails or something goes wrong.

cheer up...and hang in there...its not the end....its the END of the beginning....

[Dan]

My birthday is in May then I going to buy an new Amiga.
I don´t care if it will be Morphos or AmigaOne with AmigaOS 4.0 which ever is im able to buy straight over the counter gets my money.
I could turn out to be none.
Then I would have to buy a Mediator with stuff for my A1200-060

Tony, i've got some magic beans here..... theyre yours for $50 mate....


@Greenboy & @Kronos

I agree that the coupon offer is something of a debacle.... but tbh, what do either of you care?

I could go on a rant about ntl's 1gb d/l cap, but hey i don't have cable....

you pair dont have a coupon... hell you dont....even....have....an.....amiga!

@SkyRaker:
"Tony, i've got some magic beans here..... theyre yours for $50 mate...."

I don't think $50 is enough: I'll give you $65, minimum  :-D

But don't attack the others just because you disagree with them. Their opinions are just as valid as yours or mine. Time will tell whose are more true.

Rx an email response from Fleecy Moss tonight!

Amiga is going to make some announcments concerning CeBIT, A1 & OS4 (soon).

I asked about AmigaDE, he said that will be covered in the announcments as well,
but that progress has been slower than anticipated due to having to concentrate on
other platforms (PockPC ??).

Loki :-D

Looking forward to read that announcement :-D
Amiga Inc./Hyperion/Eyetech knows how to make life exciting ;-)

[HMetal]

I'm also quite sure that Ray () from AInc made a comment right here where he said that noone will get their money back before the release of OS4.

This is incorrect.  I made no such statement nor any statement of refund nor refusal of same.  That simply is not in my power to decide nor comment on, at this time.

Day after day it's harder to wait...

[L8-X]

Yeah....its getting soooo looong now....must stay strong...nearly there! ;-)

Could you be more specifc?
