No news is good news????
« on: February 25, 2003, 02:57:31 PM »
Its been a while since we heard anything from AI about AmigaOne or OS 4.0. The most recent thing on their web site is a story by Microsoft PressPass about the PocketPC package they came out with back in April last year! Are they holding their cards close to their chest? Are they planning some grand annoucement in March? Are they too busy to talk? In other words: WHERE THE H*LL ARE THEY?

Personally, I would appreciate  some words of encouragement rather than silence. What do you think?  :-(

Personally, this smells like bad news. BUT: AInc are well known to be rather bad PR-wise, so after all it may just be "business as usual"...
Ciao,
Stefano.

"Hell" isn't a swearword.

Neither is "God" just in case you went to an American state school...

Mumbles is the word. If you have any info I would like to hear it. But so far the message is not clear.

OK, I'll bite, just throw me a bone. WHEN will we KNOW something? Give us a time estimate or something. I mean, is this suppose to be a surprise party or is this a Members Only thing? :-?

{edited: Please note that I state openly that I have absolutely no insider knowledge here.  Amiga Inc is now actively refusing my (and other Amiga.org administrator) attempts to contact them, so I have no idea what the hell is up with them any more.  So far, 11 e-mails sent directly to Amiga Inc staff trying to "make peace" and to solicit simple "what's up" updates have gone ignored, though I received delivery and read receipts.  That does not denote that they are dead, gone, or otherwise similar to buttheads.  I just say this because it's what I personally feel.}

No news is *never* good news.
No news is indicitive of problems.
No news is indicitive of no progress.
No news is indicitive of trying to hide something.  
No news is a sign of no money.  
No news is a sign of judicial "gag orders".

No news is a sign that they have nothing good to say.  

If you have something good, you say it.  Anything less is simply incredibly crappy PR, but then again, that's right on par with Amiga Inc's publicly viewable history.

At this point of time, the Amiga teams have been very busy on development and with other work. However, very soon all people will be brought up to date with regard to some latest happenings. Don't you worry.  :-)
