Everyone is lined up to beat the dead horse here, some of you obviously have some pent up aggression.


You sound like the guy with the wheelbarrow full of money on his way to buy a loaf of bread in Harare expressing surprise that people are {bleep}ing about Bob Mugabe.   :-)

This isn't aggression! This is people enjoying free entertainment and common culture!  :-)

Check your stats - before the latest Scamiga Inc shenanigans and then  after.

Enjoy!  :-D

Hello Wayne,

This thread was born out of a fresh news article at the time from a major newspaper outlet.  Amiga Inc. has been in the news a lot lately in at least three newspapers.  And this time people in the "real world" got screwed on a deal it seems.  It may be a familiar repeat in your mind to previous experiences you have seen with Amiga but that dosen't mean talking about this new occurance is beating a dead horse.  Nor is it certain that all of us have been so close to Amiga news over the years as you may have been.  I wasn't around for the $50 coupon thing or the t-shirts or the birth of MorphOS or the Thendic case if that helps with perspective.  Yes I have read about these things but I have to suspect its nothing like living through them when I read posts from other people.  So I would not be as quick to judge.

@Wayne

Why not have then 10-20 questions session with
Bill now ? I suppose he has a lot to say.
AmigaOS or MorphOS on x86 would sell orders of magnitude more than the current, hardware-intensive solutions. And they\\\'d go faster. --D.Haynie

@Manu

He already said it.

On another note, we have had a very strange request about sales that
occurred from 1996 through 2000 regarding Amiga computers. Now I understand based on the documentation that we have here that the machines were purchased primarily from Petro at Amiga International.

What I need to know is how many of you would still have copies of invoices or other documentation that shows you purchasing this hardware and any all possible advertisements or promotional materials that you may have received at this time. We seem to have an issue with regard to the actual facts that machines were purchased during those years, and we are limited in the materials that we have here for those years. If you have any information or documents that meet this criteria then please let me know as soon as possible.


Of course, in hindsight, we can see how weasely and disingenuous these words were, sometime before the court case starts and Scamiga go back to their usual 'silent' mode.

Ie: The are contemptuous of us and ignore us - until we can   do something for them.

Forgive us for gloating for we know not what we do!    :lol:

If he's got anything to say, why can't he just come out and bloody well say it?
He had no problems before with his 'executive updates' etc.

Funny how his last 'offer' to do another 20Q's was just before the lawsuits started up.
On schedule, and suing

That may be so, but please bare in mind that, like yourself, there have been some of us who have been dicked out of a lot of hard work (and money), although by Amiga rather than Genesi.

I hoped that AInc has to pay for their lies...
