Testimony from former AInc developer, Mr Peck (?)

@MarkTime

except you're wrong about it actually useing MacOSX... it uses MacOnLinux wich is legal in the US... MacOnLinux is far from native MacOS...and I doubt apple caresd about the 10 or so people nationwide who use it...
In fact Amigas in the past sold those mac cards...my A2000 had one... it allowed me to run MacOS...it wasnt illegal...and actually was better then a mac...

BBRV isnt selling MacOnLinux, their not selling OSX, their selling a board capable of running Linux, and capable of running MacOnLinux, anc therefore capable of having OSX installed to run in a window from Linux.....this is not copyright infringement...

The AmigaOne/Barbie or any PPC based system that runs Linux for that matter can do the same thing...you need to go look it up... Genesi  may demo the system running MacOnLinux but they dont sell it with OSX... it's not illegal...their not that stupid...

If Amiga is dead, someone forgot to tell the rest of us here that are working daily, which includes everyone from Bill McEwen, Fleecy, and others in upper management right on down to the contractors.

Facts:

1. Eyetech's AmigaOne is being delivered and people are receiving them the world over.

2. Hyperion is still working on AmigaOS4 and it is progressing as Ben Hermans stated.

3. Amiga Inc has product on the shelves (or at least in the web-shop) at CompUSA.

4. Amiga has product for sale in our own web-shop (http://shopamiga.com)

Bottom line: don't fall for the misdirection tactics of certain individuals  for they are scared, digging up "dirt" and making a lot of noise in order to sway public attention away from the facts stated above.

i.e I can do anything that is against the licence the software is released under, as long as it is not distributed to anyone else.

Well, considering the GPL is concerned with distribution mainly, I doubt you could do anything against the license if you're not redistributing it to anyone else.

So Ray, just who is the CEO for Amiga Inc as of now?

To concoct a story that would be believed by the greatest number of people, inventing a courtroom situation would be ideal, in which Bill McEwen makes certain statements under oath..

Another Courtroom Story

Oh, my...

:-? A big question in my mind is whether ANN.lu’s “Jubal” is a Club Amiga member or not.  

From the notice it is clear that people joining in on the suit will almost certainly receive nothing for their trouble.  So what’s the point?

As a member of Club Amiga, I have a vested interest in the matter.  In my opinion, the best possible outcome is for Amiga to remain solvent until their Amiga DE / Amiga Anywhere revenues begin coming in, in force.  Once their cash flow situation is improved, other things, such as printing T-shirts, etc., get easier.  Forcing the company into bankruptcy will not satisfy THIS customer, it would serve only the purposes of their competitors.

I know that's hard for some to accept, but the people who have trouble accepting it are the same people who don't understand that Anti-Amiga Inc does NOT equal Pro {insert company X}.

Sorry Wayne,
it's either Pro Amiga Inc or Pro Genesi.
Those who don't care at all have long left the platform. Where "Pro" doesn't mean you follow blindly, you just trust this company more than the other. It 's difficult to hate them of love them equally unless you are an A500 user having moved to Windoze 95 when it came along.

I have to disagree. I'm still an Amiga user and really don't care for either Genesi or Amiga.inc

Amiga.inc isn't making Amiga computers OR AmigaOS and I haven't any interest in what Genesi are doing.

I'd just like to know the truth.

Regarding Peck's issues and Amiga Inc status I am interested in hearing the other side first.

I doubt you'll ever hear the other side. Forgetting all else, if they were to make a public statement on the subject, it'd probably be held against them in court.

You'll know better than to go away then!  :-o

[PulsatingQuasar]

This all means nothing to me because whatever the outcome it doesn't compromise the path of AmigaOS4 and the AmigaOne one bit.

I'm still going to get my AmigaOne in the next couple of weeks and also AmigaOS 4 in the next couple of months.

[Hooligan_DCS]

I'm still going to get my AmigaOne in the next couple of weeks and also AmigaOS 4 in the next couple of months.

I second to that. But lemme tell you, it was a helluva work to read all postings about the situation. sine yesterday. Hopefully all this gets a closure soon. Its getting very pathetic.

@HMetal

I have to admit, you did a fine job of dancing with your words.  I am particularly enamoured by the way in which you make it seem as if Genesi had a PR guy write up that outline on ANN.  It's an impressive way of trying to make something appear as a falsehood without pointing directly to the individual who made the statements.  Bravo!

On another note:  Yeah, I'm on the other side now.  However, I'm a personal friend of Bolton Peck (who is NOT a developer, btw).  I've known about this story looooong before anything was said publicly, and before I had any involvement with Genesi.  Wayne can collaborate this statement, because I told him months ago, "I have a friend with a suit against Amiga."  I didn't give him any details, because it was Bolton's story to tell.

Nothing is true unless it comes from the official source! ;-)

(BTW, there has been a lot of Information Ministers lately. A fun idea, I must say! :-))

[restore2003]

The Amiga must be cursed! Commodore, Escom, Amiga Int, etc etc etc, and now this? The only thing that can go worse now is Micro$oft buying all the rights of Amiga and buries it 9 feet underground.
