Bill McEwen not appearing at AMIwest
« on: July 19, 2003, 02:20:45 PM »
Excerpt from Amiga.Com

Regrettably, my plans have changed and I will not be attending AmiWest this year. I have informed the organizers of AmiWest and they were very understanding. However, in my absence, Amiga will be well-represented at the event.

Why am I not surprised.

And can someone take out the slight in his name from the topic?  I want serious news, not the coy snide remarks slipped in.

Whee, what a surprise that was!!!

I love how he says it's the first showing of AmigaOS 4.x for the world even though it's been on tour in Europe for the past 6 weeks :)

Ah, to be as out-of-touch as he is, it'd be so much less stressful :)

Let's be totally honest - did anyone ever think for a second he would turn up, anyone at all?

Just shows that AInc is a farce, that's all. Even the name followers will have to see this by now.

Not really suprised- just remember that the announcement that he WOULD be there was only the return salvo
in the Garry Hare-fuzzy-business-card debacle.

Amiga Inc being well represented, however?

Now that would suprise the hell out of me.

@huronking

IIRC the attitude was "if Bill doesn't show up at AmiWest, then he's not CEO."  So guess that question was answered.  

Would the real CEO please stand up....

Don't you find it kinda odd that this announcement was after this Paypal  thread on MooBunny?

Maybe you should go back and read what he said again, as you obviously misquoted what he said.

from Bill McEwen

This is another opportunity for the the Amiga community and the rest of the world to see AmigaOS 4.0 demonstrated for the first time.


Note the word "ANOTHER" and "REST OF THE WORLD".  Remember, there are plenty of people who have not seen it for the first time yet.

As for the rest of you... I'm not surprised at all the trolling that's coming from the usual Genesi crew.  You all know full well he has a court date to attend and that is mandatory.  It's been talked to death already in other threads.

Genesi crowd? Is this the stock dismisal for all Amiga Inc's failures now? :-?

You really should read more. The information is out there. This has nothing to do with Genesi or MOS users.

How do you call missing a show because of a court date a failure?  And yes, Genesi crowd... look at every single person who jumped in to get their "kick in".

@HereWeGoAgain

What trolling?  If you refer to my statement above, it was pointing out a continuation of the earlier statement.  Namely, the whole "Bill going to AmiWest" thing was in responce to Garry Hare's business card and statements from Mr. Moss that led many of us to believe that Bill had, in fact, been replaced as CEO.  I continued by pointing out that those on the other side of the fence claimed that when Bill did show up at AmiWest it would confirm he is still CEO.  I just retorted to that very old arguement with the logical counter-arguement.

We all know he has a court date to attend, even he does, and he knew when he said he would be at Amiwest, as did everybody else... but still every volunteer at Amiga Inc said Bill would be there unless his plans changed.

Strange how his plans changed when he knew about his court date way before making his "i will attend amiwest" statement...

But of course, I'm just a Genesi troll, not an interested guy who wants to see SOME sort of new Amiga [like] thing.

Cheers,
