It seems to me that the only intrest you have on amiga.org is to slag Amiga.inc,Hyperion,Eyetech & Anyone intrested in Aone or Aos4.




Why not slag of cowboy firms which are doing piss all for Amigas future unless you call that piece of garbage restricted Teron board a serious board,
The LinuxONE reject is a restricted piece of S H I T,

Get with the program ALL Amiga companies are doing more harm to the future of the machine than good,

As a very long time amiga user it is very sad to read comments by brain washed idiots what think Amiga is going to be as good as it was in 1992,

The only good product for the Amiga was Amithlon and you die hards totally ####ed it up good and proper."

 
Well this site is called Amiga.Org.

Most posts here will be about all things amiga.

But no matter what the thread is about. you will just carryon slagging away weather it on topic or not.

Please name the brainwashed ppl.

Also what exatcly do you want the Amiga.inc todo.
 
Also what exatcly do you want the amigausers todo.

Also what exatcly do you want Hyperion todo.

Also what exatcly do you want Eyetech todo.

To whom are you speaking?  I certainly wouldn't consider what I've said here to be FUD.  It's pretty much now a documented fact that

1) Amiga, Inc is in Microsoft's pocket (for better or worse)

2) Amiga, Inc has nothing to do with the AmigaOne outside of licensing the name.

3) The AmigaOne has nothing to do with the Amiga as we've known it (at least yet).

4) AmigaAnywhere (as far as almost anyone can tell) has nothing to do with the Amiga as we know it.  It's now, for all intents and purposes a Microsoft product and simply a game player engine for their Windows PDA and cellphone products.

Well said!

I`m well fed up with all this negativity recently, it`s becoming more like ANN.LU here which I find saddening.

Amiga.inc can`t win here, if they don`t make money they go out of business, wayne shouts "told ya so!" They get money from making pda stuff & actually getting somewhere even if it is with M$, Wayne screams "they`ve sold out, told ya so".

Lets face it guys, the amiga market can`t generate enough income for Amiga.inc at present, they have investors wanting a return on their cash, only way to do it is by (get this) MAKING MONEY!!! How do they do that? Well, at present they are at work in this M$ pda program and are being awarded by getting on this advisory council and can actually make a difference in this market.

This gives you Wayne, paul gadd, etc the chance to throw some more FUD around. Which you can`t resist taking up. :-?

sad..just sad  :-(

@Paul gadd

LOL, your talents are wasted.

Why can`t you see any positive aspects in whatever Amiga.inc do?

If amiga has nothing to offer you then why are you here at all?

It's not sad.  It is not FUD.  It's the facts.  They could have won, but they chose to limit the "future of the Amiga" to antiquated PPC hardware, then abandon anything remotely related to the Amiga we knew to the likes of garage-bands (Hyperion) and repackagers (Eyetech).

Right now, Amiga Inc. cannot win, that much is correct.  This mouse trap is one of their own making.  

I just wonder why they would EVER have bothered buying the Amiga trademarks and names if they NEVER had ANY intent to build an Amiga EXCEPT to fleece (which is very, very appropriate considering some of their actions) the remaining community and to use our good reputation (well, it USED TO BE)  to their benefit to open the Microsoft door.

I think their sellout to Microsoft is a good thing, for them, but it isn't Amiga.  Stop trying to twist everything to pretend it is.  The fact that Bill McEwen was able to con his way into 5 million dollars during the peak of the "free Internet money" era does not make him either competent or Godly.

@L8-X

What FUD ? AInc promised "Amiga-anywhere", and now they are "in bed"
with M$ making it "Amiga Anywindows" at best.


AA may have been interesting, and I wouldn't have minded if that
stuff had run on M$ too, but if I wanted to write SW for AW I would simply
skip Intent and write for .net.

Do you think M$ would allow one of it's "partners" to write SW for
Symbian ? Or Linux ? Or something like the mystical OS5 ?

This partnerships only says that Amiga is now the PDA-games-division
of M$, and I wouldn't be suprised if it just be a brandname for M$
in 1 years time like Atari is now for Infogrames.

If M$Bill wants to do this McBill would be dead last to know, as he doesn't
own AInc (the investors/creditors do).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

"You just have to read thread after thread and especially the Elbox threads,"

This is not an Elbox thread.

"To go bust or hopefully run the company like a proper company instead of lies, broken promises,
scams, ignoring the Die hards,"


The diehard are the ppl still buying from & suporting Amiga.inc & other amiga related firms.


"First of all stop turning blind eyes to stuff and hero worshiping every god damn thing to do with
amiga,

just look at the threads with people with LinuxONE boards who have no clue how to use Linux,
priceless."


This is not a Linux thread.


You should really try to keep to the topic at hand & not use every thread as an excuse to slag (every
thing you dont like about amiga) off.


Eyetech have been very good to me & many others.

If you have been let down by them then say so.
But i would not want the other ppl who have had nothing but good service from then to loose out
just because i had a bad time with them.

@Paul,

While I agree with your stance, you really need to take it down a notch with your confrontation level.

As I see it, the only "real" friend that Microsoft has in the Amiga World is Wayne and all the rest of his puppets.

Everything that Wayne says, everybody agrees with because this is his space.

Your predictions are kinda useless at this point and time.

At one time, I was called a McEwen worshiper by you Wayne, and you were close to being right.

A lot of time has went by now, and I'm not a "worshiper" anymore.
I'm just sit back and watch what is going on in all the forums without commenting.

But for once in a long time, I'm gonna speak.

As far as Amiga Inc.  and Microsoft goes, it has been known all along that McEwen and the gang has been trying to get Microsofts buisness with the AmigaDe side of things.

I really do fail to understand your point, except for the fact that you above all wish for Amiga Inc. to burn.
This place needs to be named HateAmigaInc.org

I don't know what in the world You and Amiga Inc. have been through behind the lines, and I really do not care.

This does not prove anything about Microsoft buying out Amiga Inc.
It actually proves that Amiga Inc have accomplished what they said they were going to do from the beginning.

If Amiga Inc succeeds at what they have said from the beginning, then that's a good thing.
If it turns out like the picture that you paint, well then, it's time to move on.

But your Amiga Inc bashing has no end, and I for one
wish that you would tone down the McEwen hatred that burns in your heart.

This is the first time in many years that the Amiga has moved in any direction, and that is a good thing.

The more they succeed, the more you throw a fit.

It appears to me that you are deep into conspiracy theories.

Maybe you need to write a book of some type.
