Merlancia Amiga MCC

[Nick]

Oh so its a Pegasos thing now. OK.

Can you show me the prrof that this guy is only this guy as I want to read/ see it. I`m all confused now.

[lempkee]

if its a pegasos, well then i must say "will it be released" , i know the history of merlancia but i also wonder about hmmm it still does look neat and it might work (as a design).

but still, i belived that pegasos ran Morphos so why have they called it AMIGA MCC?

Anyway in the end of all i could only wish merlancia best of luck , as no matter how hardyou try to forget MCC its a thing from my memory (yes i surely wanted an MCC,ALOT! (back in 99/2k)


a footnote would be, since they are partners of Genesi and since its called Amiga MCC does this mean then that Hyperion/ainc have liscenced the OS to the Amiga McC and not to pegasos or maybe i got this all wrong, sounds abit dubious anyway

[JoannaK]

Actually that sounds more than dubious.. but who am I to tell what's going on.  :-?

Available February 2003? This is a wind up, right?

sorry I don't have the address but over at ann.lu they post the address of the realpix site...you know what, if memory serves correct its www.realpix.com/merlancia.html....oh its funny.

One thing I will say to Ryan's credit, he should call this an Amiga, and make Amiga, Inc. sue him if they don't like it.  That will prove the toothless tiger theory once and for all (and I think it would prove just that)...but who knows, it will be interesting.

If Amiga, Inc. doesn't even protect their trademarks, they aren't protecting much of anything..and the word Amiga most definately CAN go into the public domain, if Amiga Inc doesn't protect that trademark.

And then Amiga Incs theoretical ability to grab the amiga.org domain would also slip away as well.

LOL! They intend to call it an Amiga while they run MorphOS on it !!!!!


I BET Amiga Inc does not have balls to sue them !

@norm
You mean this :

Genesi SARL is a Lithuania

??

AFAIK Lithuania = Litauen = 1 of the baltic republics (former soviet-republic).

Genesi is in Luxenbourg and that just as much the oppostite of a
baltic republic as you can get.

I also remember that there was some "misunderstandings"
between bPlan and Merlancia in 2001 when Ryan claimed he had financed
the Pegasos-development. Odd thing is bPlan didn't know of it ....

It's an old joke, and amiga.org has shamed itself for posting this as a news item. I have found recently that there is a lot more news than what appears on this site. This site will spread a rumor like wildfire and then misses real news....well noone's perfect, but honestly....how thoroughly does ryan have to be debunked as a sham before amiga's news moderators think twice about it.

If you're so unhappy about the newspostings then why don't you go looking for newsitems yourself and post em? User interaction is the only way to improve it if you're annoyed by it....

Uhmmm... I was not complaining about lack of news items, but the posting of rumors as news items, and I do contribute to fixing this problem. The Amithlon Kernel 'update' which many sites carried, was not carried here, because I had researched the topic and notified amiga.org staff the moment a similar item was posted here.

I posted to the forums, the recent beta release of UAE for Mac OS X .

I didn't post directly to news allowing the community to decide if this is really an amiga story (in a broad interpretation it is)...or if it is in fact a Mac OS X story (some people feel so)...in any event noone picked it up and moved it to news...but it was posted to the forums for all to read.

So...I do contribute, and complaining about this Ryan story is another way of contributing.  Someone needs to be alerted that at least one member, and probably many, are getting tired of simple HTML changes on some bogus website being posted as news...a product release or review is news....this is entirely rumor mongering....and why are we feeding this madmans ego anyway?

good grief

[BADHead]

i would really like to see it happen as i would
be very interested  :-)
it would go nice with my new flat screen

@marktime:

I misinterpreted your post, I apologize for any caused aggravation :-).

While I may agree with you that Merlancia is a questionable company or this is questionable news, you are going about it the wrong way. The news moderators are clearly listed to the right hand side. If you really feel this news posting is inappropriate email or PM one of them and explain why you feel so.

Besides, I think the Merlancia smoke screen has been pretty openly exposed in the last year. Anyone who has been paying attention will see that.
