Executive Update

[D@n]

WOW THIS IS FREAKIN FANTASTIC!!!
Look @ THAT PRIZE DRAW :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o
How does one enter, I mean do u like have to have already placed and order for the A1 or do you just sign up for the prize draw?
Also what is the Amiga Enabled Cell Phone?
Which phone is it?
Where/When can I buy it?
Cheers
D@n :-D

Apparently, you have to buy a $50 voucher that can be redeemed on the purchase of the AmigaOne with OS4.

Apparently, this is to find out how many people are serious about buying it.

Apparently, the prize draw is only for those that have purchased their vouchers.

 :crazy:

Ahhh, i missed that bit. I wondered how this would actualy help them track what users wanted the A1. Yer, sounds good. Now all we have to do is get the word out.

Easier said then done. Slashdot is pretty much our only answere, but i dont know how many Amigaians actualy use slashdot!?!?!

Whatya say people? Wanna floody slashdot with this great news? Everyone write about the same thing in a different way and we'll see if we can get it posted.

I've already writen one, but i might write an other know that i know how they actualy track buyers. Who's in? We have to do our part

[DaveP]

I wouldnt post on Slashdot, posting anything Amiga related  has this tendancy to expose the lamers, clueless and flamers. In fact dont post anything anywhere until you can actually order an A1 with OS4 in my view.


Dave.

@DaveP

I agree! I'd wait until A1/OS4 is shipping before posting to Slashdot. Once it is shipping the signal-noise ratio would improve.

>50 thousand -> Free trip to Hawaii / Florida.

Unfair for customers who live in Hawaii / Florida
For 10 million voucher, perhaps the price is trip to ISS (International Space Station)!

Perhaps Bill McEwen should create a formal press release and announce the exact release date.

[DaveP]

Well perhaps you get to fly once around the world instead.

[redrumloa]

Unfair for customers who live in Hawaii / Florida

You mean me? ;-) Actually Hawaii sounds good.

[Kronos]

/me is waiting for Ben Hermans to start ranting
about that (almost anual) pre-payment-scheme.

Party on  :-P

[DaveP]

Im sorry I dont get you?

[Kronos]

Im sorry I dont get you?

Is it really so hard  :-o

Whenever Ben was loosing an argument on ann.lu in a Pegasos-related-thread
he did start ranting about the fact that so many people lost money in th Phase5-
preorder/bancrupsy and how bad pre-payments were. He even called those
people stupid (or was it idiots ?).

Now AInc is offering the second pre-payment for the same  products with an
uncertain release-date. These product are even not produced (or financed)
by AInc. but by Eyetech(MAI) and Hyperion.

Thats why I expect our honest, neutral, fair and nice friend Ben to do some
of his typical commenting on this  ;-)

[xeron]

Are they definately working with MAI then? They pretty clearly, unambiguously, and definitively said that the AmigaONE is not a TeronCX.

[redrumloa]

Oh come on now Kronos! You and I both know VERY well that a $50 deposit is *ALOT* different than throwing $1200USD++++ at a preorder. I can drink $50 in a bar in a few hours!

I have never been impressed by ANY executive update. Every update has the same "announcements soon" "go to this show for something big" "big companies showing interest" "deals are nearly signed" "the amiga community is fantastic" "soon" "DE is amiga anywhere" "cellphone" "we are gonna rock the world"... It's all pure PR talk, nothing more. I'm still waiting for the first executive update saying "it's out".  8-)
