I invite you to check the date of these patents.

Mountain_Myst,

You mean you don't recall Amiga Inc's "AMNESTY UNTIL SEPTEMBER ONE" posting(s)? Amiga Inc personnel have indeed said much in the past year.

Ehhhhh ??
McBill had his get legal or shutdown speech and it was clear to
whom it was tageted.

Hyperion not involved ? Isn't a certain Ben Hermanns part of
that company ? And hasn't he made all those nice comments on ann.lu ?

[System]

Is OS 4 a thread to Genesi? -Not a very big one,I think.We don´t know when it will be released or if its worth waiting for.Maybe it´s a piece of crap,who knows?
Genesi seems to have more money and they have achieved much more than Amiga Inc,who have turned mute now as it seems.
It seems to me that Genesi is rather confident to win in court.
Maybe Bill Buck is just doing this to get rid of Amiga Inc. ,so what?Amiga Inc. had threatened to do something like this all the time (I think even to the creators of Amithlon ?) and now its time for ARMAGEDDON(or AmiGeddon if you like).
Maybe Amiga Inc. gets bankrupt if they lose,I wouldn´t miss them after all the BS BillMc used to tell us and now he´s saying nothing at all.What would we lose?AmigaDE and thats it.
Hyperion might publish OS 4 on their own ("HyperionOS" or something *g*) and Eyetech could sell "EyetechOne"-systems. )

I stick with the good,old Sega-slogan:

The better one wins.

hey MarkTime,

I didn't say that opinion isn't being shaped {gedd oudda town if you think I would ever believe THAT! ; } ...  What I said (or tried to say) is that I doubt that our trivial postings, rants, and flames here and elsewhere do much to inform any findings in court ; }

[MarkTime]

@greenboy

ok, I get it...yes certainly...I agree, the judge won't scan the message board to form an opinion!

I do find this one particularly enjoyable to discuss though.

I'm not sure why, but while both Genesi and Amiga, Inc. are small, and I have no idea how Genesi will survive future hurdles (like Terrasoft)...they are just so darn scrappy, heck I'm starting to like them.

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

LOL & where is the Dreamcast now.

Listen to user HyperionMP.

Nobody can kill amiga - NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SidMan]

Two companies fighting for what........ nothing at this rate....... Bill Gates must be laughing at our own sustained destruction! Oh well.

It would be good to have a little more detail about what is happening by some official channel. This is like a headline with no story. Whats happening... Is it about Amiga DE, OS4. Who has the real facts?

[SidMan]

Sorry missed HyperionMP's text.

[AmiGR]

Nobody can kill amiga - NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody can kill THE Amiga... Anybody can kill Amiga
inc... He just has to choose a reason to sue...

[System]

Well, supposedly they sue for a "breech of contract" (which is of course not a "fact" unless the a court says so).

The only known contract concerns AmigaDE (probably the only one that does exist).

So ... theyre suing because a product does not exist for a platform that does not exist payed for with nothing? I dont know what theyre up to.

ps: bb is making a fool of himself on ann (again).

@Alkemyst
And where´s the Amiga now?Ho ho ho...  :-P
BTW: Sega still is one of the most important video-game developers of the world.

[greenboy]

So BBRV is passionate about the subject and does not enjoy being called names or ridiculed... Maybe the level of discourse could be raised everywhere if all parties would agree not to say things like "bb is making a fool of himself on ann (again)."

I will note that BBRV sometimes seems to react - but is also quite capable of apologizing or supporting someone who earlier could have been considered in the enemy camp. In my book, he understands a concept of honor. Unfortunately that sometimes means those who seem to be acting without honor set him off.

Hate to sound like a "supporter", but I know that while none of us are perfect, some people are TRYING to get things done, and I can forgive them what I consider human errors ; }

[System]

Threatening to post someones private phone number is ... laughable and lower than low.

And what did catohagen write in that thread that could be viewn as offending???

@MisterBrisby
Dont try & turn what you said around.
I was pointing out that its silly to use a term of a failed platform to premote another.

You said it i did not.
