link to the truth.

This is truely the saddest, lowest state I have seen the "official/corporate" version of Amiga in for a long time.

On the other hand, it does feel good to finally see someone outside the Amiga community expose the crap like "worlds premier provider of multi-media..." and "third most recognized brand in Europe" and blow the whole thing wide open.  Hopefully this will make it into the local Kent newspaper (has anyone forwarded links/info to it yet?).

I do agree though that the links to MooBunny on that forum along with the petty & poorly spelled arguments about hardware, etc. are making Amigans look pretty pathetic to the general public.

Some of you guys really are wierd. Why do you have to hunt down every item you can find about Amiga from all around the world and then post the same comments you do on about 4 different Amiga sites? No wonder you get called crackpots!

What's wrong with the truth. Do you wish that
the people of Kent get's tricked into building this
centre and when money runs out for Amiga Inc they
stand there with a half built building. How come
Amiga Inc is suddenly so reliable? What have they
delivered of use all these years?

[odin]

Oh dear gods, the gates of the underworld have opened. Moobunny is flooding over to other non-Amiga sites , the end is upon us :nervous:

Really it's sad to see some of the comments layied
Maybe a small amount of people will remember it as "some game computer", but the rest will probably think something like "George" on the forum linked above (maybe less drastic though):

I echo that sentiment. The name was good for a personal computer. It sounds a bit silly for an event center.

This is truly an interesting story IMO. I'm curious to see how the city of Kent deals with the feedback.

I see the "FUD machine" has been busy  :roll:

[a-pex]

this is Certainly NOT the proper way to convey information.

Did the users say something wrong? They are only telling the true about a very strange company...

[Skyraker]

so this is all we have left eh....

No question Amiga Inc. made mistakes. But for people to hate with such passion... actively stalking them, badmouthing them at every junction... I often find myself wondering if some of these people are mentally ill. They are certainly not doing these things out of the goodness of their hearts, to help Bolton Peck or the apparantly soon to be doomed city of Kent. There are proper ways to deal with injustice. If these proper ways don't work, your issue is with the system.

I guess, in the end, Amiga Inc's unfortunate history is being used for all it is worth by people with an agenda. Will the war ever end???

Anyways. OS4 is here. Several hardware projects "almost finished". (Relatively) high profile ports on their way. Things could be worse, after all.

"not a Mexican Whorehouse" made me chuckle... although all in all it's pretty sad, I agree. I wonder what the next months will bring now.

That would be hilarious if it wasn't true. I tried to laugh but I got a stabing pain at the same time.

I doubt it. Seven years ago...

Yet there seem to be some anti-Amiga campaign going on here, where the aim is to twist and turn every thing Amiga say and do to put them in a bad light. Not surprisingly QNX fanatics are involved.

QNX-fanatics. LOL! Different times, different scapegoats. ;-)

I for one think that the city of Kent should have been left to find out how bad AInc. is on their own. Sure, the city of Kent would have been ripped off, but the repercussions would have been huge.

[Plaz]

In the States there isn't much value attached to the Amiga brand-name IMHO.

Yeah. In my IT office located here in the south eastern US, the topic of Amiga is just a running gag. Media attention  like this can only bring more respect though right?

BTW, I direct attention to a comment I made about 5 days ago concerning digging up old information and the consequences....

Argggh! Searchengines... toys of the devil. There was a context to that, though. No surprise involving certain MooBunny entities. QNX fanatics for sure. But thats about all I remember and in contrary to certain nosey busybodies I have no urge to revisit the past.
