Here's a nickel, Ben. Go buy yourself a better computer.

Considering the [eventually admitted] malicious nature of the suit and specific performance sought by Genesi (tangle AInc. in lawsuits to scare the VC away; force AInc. to cough up DE/AA with no intention to actually pay upon delivery), this was a pretty reasonable defense.  Not a pretty one, but reasonable.  No idea if Hermans' retainer is par for corporate work in the EU.

The sick part is AInc. turning this around on Hyperion, who, ignoring some of the strict contractual matters at issue, sure as heck performed and delivered under extraordinary conditions at a pretty extraordinarily reasonable price.  If Ben's personal bill for services ran higher than the total contractual cost of OS4, I can see how some might be annoyed, but take that out on him, not the company.  :roll:

Yes it is. I doubt it'd work if you tried to register with it, however. ;-)

Everyone, this is completely false!

So true, so true.

Of course it is.  We sent Floid an email.

Piru: thanks for the text version.. It's kinda fascinating to see what kind of material exists on company archives.
