This interview is so ridiculous I'm going to have to paraphrase what I said on another forum.
A) Is this interview a fake?
This interview is either:
1) Real
--a) misquoted
----Does Bill McEwen have Tourette's Syndrome? No. Does
----the interviewer have a hearing problem? I doubt it.
--b) accurately quoted
----Bill McEwen is a liar, a fool, an idiot, and/or a drunk.
2) Fake
--a) intetionally
----This interview is a product of a creative genius who listens
----to Bill McEwen a LOT. If I were to create a fake interview
----I wouldn't have made him lie and dodgle so often,
----especially in cases where it wasn't necessary. I would
----have thought the purpose of a fake interview would me to
----make Bill sound like either a liar, a fool, or an ass, but all
----three? I think not.
--b) unintetionally
----Some nut managed to convince himself that he IS Bill
----McEwen and has copied his mannerisms perfectly. The
----real Bill McEwen should be very worried and change his
----locks, perhaps ask plastic surgeons if anybody has asked
----for the "Bill McEwen" look.
I actually read the interview twice, the second time assuming it was a fake. I found that scenario most improbable. I find the most probable reality is 1b and so I offer my most lucid analysis of the most insane interview I have seen in a technical venue:
B) The Interview?
Going through the list of answers in the order they are answered:
1) lie (largest?)
2) lie (shipping?)
3) lie (total?)
4) dumb (special abilities?)
5) lie (40,000 non-hardware-dependent-apps?) dumb too (64k?)
6) nonsequitur/dodge (what did 7mil have to do with Linux again?)
7) nonsequitur/dodge (so new = image maniulation?)
nonsequitur/dodge (US=video, UK=business, NASA=?) lie too (100,000s?!)
9) Amazingly he didn't fook this up by saying he was van Dyle's secret lover. Then again it appears as though the interviewer was mocking McEwen and he didn't notice. Sad.
10) dodge, not to mention a stupid question to begin with considering the licensing scheme.
11) lie
12) Who is 'we' in "we'll"? Meglomaniac.
13) dumb (does he have a clue what he's talking about?)
14) lie
15) nonsequitur/dodge (he said AmigaOS, not AmigaDE)
16) Bill McEwin IS John Madden in answer #16! In web pages near you. Dumb dumb dumb. Also sycophant.
17) nonsequitur/dodge (What does 7mil have to do with the question again? I also love the the division of zero. Much like deviding a carrot into 0 and 1 "pieces")
18) Well this statement either makes Bill or Fleecy a liar.
19) lie
20) lie
21) lie (for further proof look how he answered the question "What's the status of Amiga OS on other platforms today?")
22) lie (how can a liar set things straight? Hrm, an interesting paradox for people who believe Bill McEwen is incapable of lying. Either he's lying now and always has and always will, or he is always telling the truth and is capable of setting things straight. hrmm)
23) nonsequitur/dodge (didn't this guy just say that AmigaDE won't run on AOS4?! Then how the hell are the two related?) and lie (Other side of the coin my ass)
24) fool (wtf? Two years? What happened to 12 months?)
OK, I'm off to laugh at the Amiga apologist posts now. :-D
