Well....I tried posting this, as a news article, but apparently, it's not considered news. I won't go into details on what's in the Business Proposal, but I hope this will make you guys realize what I was trying to do for all of us. I was tired of everyone sitting here, saying "someone should do something". My cover letter. I won't say who all received my proposal, though.
Gentlemen:
Enclosed is an outline of a 3-month, business proposal to resurge the AMIGA BRAND NAME, bringing pride back to all parties involved, the Amiga Community and the outside world, letting all know that the Amiga is not dead, but REFUSING to die, coming back with a VENGANCE. If done correctly, it can resurrect the Amiga name, bringing it back to the spotlight as an underdog, not to be under-estimated anymore. We can once again become a force to be reckoned with. This is our chance. We need to arm ourselves. It's time we start fighting back!
We need to stop the in-fighting, settle our differences and join forces. We are at WAR! This isn't a war between Amigans. This is a war against Apple, Microsoft, Linux and ANY individual or company insolent enough to make negative comments about the Amiga or the people who fiercely support it. Amiga is ready to make a comeback and by all that is holy, I'm DETERMINED to make that happen. We will re-invigorate the AMIGA BRAND NAME to new heights. We will draw new supporters. We will make new partnerships. We will prove, once and for all, that ANYONE who mocks the Amiga will suffer for it.
We need product. We need software. We need people know that we're here to stay and if you don't join with us, you will indeed die a slow, painful death in our re-birth. The Community needs to believe in you. You need to show them it's okay to be PROUD of the Amiga again. Let them know that you won't take this, lying down. Let them know that you're willing to FIGHT for what you believe in.
Take the time to read my proposal. Know that I am an Amiga Community Member. I WANT the Amiga to become the powerful entity it once was and through careful planning, we can make this happen. It will take time. It will be long and arduous, but if you prove that you're for real, this time, the Community will support you. Have faith in me and I will do the one thing that you have yet to do in this battle, we have been fighting, for years.
I'll bring you, your Army.
Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors
Excerpt, from Emimem's "MOSH".
We all need to get together, for this. Amiga, Inc, Hyperion, VOF, Individual Computers and myself need to discuss our battle plan. We need to make sure that this isn't a smoking gun, like so many promises that have come before. We need the Community to fall in line, behind us. Our voices can be heard and it's time we start SCREAMING, instead of wimpering, like we have, the past, seven years.
Thank you for your time and your consideration. It takes understanding people to hear a complete nobody out.
Sincerely yours,
Martin 'Madin' Jackson
