Point taken Wayne, but still, BBRV isn't much better then Amiga Inc at the end of the day.
Why? Because he's point blank and abrasive? Because he isn't afraid to call it like he sees it? BBRV isn't easy to take for everyone, and I agree that he can be his own worst enemy with his aggressive style and mannerisms but he's done nothing here but deliver a product.
It's simply unfair of him of using Amiga Inc's troubles for his own profit, when he did much, much worse himself.
Again, I must ask you "Why?" What is so "unfair" about using standard business tactics (and it *is* standard) to compete?
Remember folks, this isn't personal for him or Amiga Inc. This is business.
I don't know about BBRV's "past history". In part, because in this current situation between Genesi and the Amiga, his past history is not relevant. The only relevant thing here is
1) the fact that BBRV told the truth (no matter how much you HATE the bitter truth, want to blame him for it, or want to claim the contrary) -- whether appropriate or not for him to do so is debatable --
2) Genesi is, and has been actively and openly supporting the Amiga community including Web sites as well as it's members. This is more than can be said for Amiga Inc (not counting shows) though I honestly wish it had come about differently.
In the end -- and this seems like the end to me -- Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss are fully responsible for their own actions and the fate of Amiga Inc. No one else.
Remember one thing here folks. *IF* Amiga Inc folds (and I hope that they don't, I just hope the rumors of a re-org are true), that doesn't mean that your Amigas are any less useful than when Commodore folded. The "death" of Amiga Inc should not affect the community because we will still be here, chugging away with Genesi, AND Hyperion / Eyetech. Only the "middle man" would be different.
