It cannot be fun with people bashing him left and right all the time. I still hope he's able to laugh about that one, though.

Sincerely,

The boys a Brit, of course he can laugh about it! :-D

Nothing more British than not only recognising your failures, but being able to laugh at them.

And pointing them out in the pub for others to laugh at too! :-D

That was  :roflmao:

Well if AInc. doesn't make a showing and the Peggy is coming in force to crank it's public relations and image for improving sales, that will give them a real advantage in showing who is serious and who is looking like vapor ware.
 :-o

There will be a showing of OS4.0 at the Mr. Hardware Booth.....
plus some A1XE's for sale.

Hyperion hopes to have a Rep there.

Magnetic will you be there?

 Great! I'm glad Someone is showing OS4. Is it going to be running PPC native or still static 68k emulation?  
 I wish I could be there. I'm in the middle of a video project for nyc board of ed...
 But I will be watching irc and webcam

Good luck and have fun

According to http://nicomen.com/amiwestpoll/ this page, questions are gathered for Ben Hermans and Bill Buck personally (as I understend), Alan Redhouse by phone, and Bill McEwen yet unconfirmed. So at least according to the page Ben Hermans will be there.

Unconfirmed eh?

What about this?

Snoqualmie, WA 98065 - Amiga, Inc. announces that Bill McEwen the CEO of Amiga, Inc. will once again attend AmiWest.

"There is a great deal of activity going on at Amiga, and I am looking forward to sharing it all with you. We have kept ourselves focused and stayed the course toward success. I look forward to seeing all of you again in Sacramento."

><> Bill McEwen ><>
President/CEO
Amiga, Inc.

Of course he'll be there. Amiga Inc wouldn't lie to their paying customers. ;-)

@Lando:

While thats funny, it is a little unfair, as Fleecy himself expressed concern over the coupon affair right from day one.

And no, i'm not an "AInc fanboy". I thought the coupon scheme was ludicrous, and so never bought one.

If that's the case, then it is a bit unfair... but what to you mean by "Concern". Did he actively encourage people to not buy them?

Hi xeron

Ok.  Sorry if I offended anyone - it was just a joke.  I hope that Fleecy will take it in the spirit it was intended.  I've got nothing against him personally

[xeron]

I seem to remember him saying that he had doubts about the coupon scheme, as originally proposed, with regards to its legality in most of europe, and that he advised against introducing it.

That's strange. I think you are confusing Fleecy with Alan from Eyetech.

The coupon thing was a 100% AmigaInc plan, presumably by Bill McEwen. It had nothing to do with Eyetech or Hyperion.

[CodeSmith]

Haven't you ever read "dilbert"? boneheaded ideas get implemented by top management all the time.  Amiga Inc isn't a borg collective, you only need the people on top to approve an idea (even if everyone else hates it) and it will be implemented.  If Bill was determined to do the coupon thing, Fleecy couldn't really stop him - all he could do was express his concern.

[xeron]

No, i'm not confusing him with Alan. I'm sure I remember people asking fleecy about the scheme because he works for Amiga, Inc. He said you'd have to ask Bill, because it was nothing to do with him, and he went on to say that he didn't think it was a very good idea.

[Lando]

Yeah I remember it as being Alan who expressed concerns too.  Can't find any reference now though.
