I'm not surprised they didn't succeed after spelling suceed and distributing it in a press pack.

The language sounds a bit Fleecyesque........

It's far too understandable and non-catch-phrasy to be Fleecyesque.  I don't think he was working with Gateway though.  As I recall, he was too busy running around stealing everyone else's ideas trying to ingratiate himself with McEwen at the time.

Wasn't there some funny incident with Barry's "wife" whining on the usenet how Barry got sacked be GateWay, and how they were out to kill the Amiga by labelling some unrelated tech as it ??

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Wow!! What a memory you got there Kronos:-o  I forgot completely about that! Now that you mention it right after Fleecy was sacked I vaguely remember him running a banner on ANN of a picture of himself saying something like "I'll be back". You remember that?

I had completely forgotten about that.  See?  This is why everyone needs to own a piece of history like this.  A great reminder of the soap opera we all took part in.  :)

Just a quick update.. ~3 days into the eBay listing and it has busted 1,000 unique visitors!

Best comment so far has to go to Oliver with I seem to have found a minor flaw in their business plan. :roflmao:

Also around the same time there was a certain Matt Sealey clearly not happy about the loss of Fleecy from Amiga Inc. (No I'm not being sarcastic)   :-o

How things change.

It's very sad to see a lot of names I recognise that drifted away from the scene.  When you look at it now, it's a mere pitiful shadow of itself.  :boohoo:

It's not even a shadow of a shadow of it's former self. All the divison and camp fighting brought on by various individuals named B*, one named F*, and the lies their repective companies threw out there tore the kommunity down. Greed, narcissism and ego.

BTW- to those who are interested.. 5 days left and still under $100! 8-)

-Edit-
Come to think of it, they were all name B*.


Ice, ice, baby!

I, for one, never understood who the heck Fleecy was??? He just showed up at the party one day like some wanna-be fraternity brother.  The only thing I remember he was good at, like most useless bureaucrats, was coming up with acronyms...COLA, OAF, etc.  Yeah, OAF, that was a brilliant one ;)

-Fleecy: yes = Bill is very concerned about the dealers. Ppl have stopped buying as
they wait and we want them to understand that they should buy the SW (note: this is the partypack ie DE) because we
are working with H&P to ensure it works on the new Amiga. It isn't wasted.

:lol:

@Oliver

No, it wasn't wasted. It works on so many levels :laughing:
