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,
Navvie

Please, enlighten me as to what it is I should read?


Wow I can't search down every single threead, but Dammy pointed out a good one.

HERE

Things are looking very very bad for Amiga Inc by their own doing. BTW court dates are set waaaaay waaaay in the future so McBill would have known he had a court date when he announced he would be at Amiwest. He knew he couldn't be there, he was just spreading FUD.

-Edit-
BTW from everything being said by MANY sources McBill won't even be at the court date, he is said to be in hiding from process servers among other things. THIS is just speculation on my part, but lately ALL of the speculation has turned out to be true, so....

-Edit #2-
Before you claim I am spreading FUD because I bought a Genesi product, keep in mind I am traveling from Florida to California next week, and I bought a banquet ticket. I was actually looking foward to what he had to say.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

This is so hillarious. It's just like watching the Britneyfans vs. the Aguilerafans having a showdown. I love it. Hillarious, yes, that was the word!  :-D

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.


Well, I must have missed that one, because I never saw any post where Fleecy gave an answer that indicated Bill had been replaced.

And about "what trolling?", if you cannot see that from statements like "even the name followers", etc...

You know what, forget it... this site is not even worth me wasting my time with anymore....sad that it's turn into the degraded state that it has.

Ok... for the record, I'm not a Genesi dude. I frankly
know nothing about their platform, other than they
compete for the same market as Ainc. (Which is
about the size of the 8-track tape market- maybe smaller.)

To explain myself for the record I am just a run-of-the-mill
disillusioned Amigan who has listened to the lies
since 1989. I have the old A500 and box of
"Amigaworld" magazines to prove it.

Genesi has nothing to do with the fact that I'm pissed
about the $50 I sent a year ago for AInc's club crusade and got nothing in return. If they deliver,
I will buy- but until that time, I paid for the right to
complain about their shennanigans to my heart's
content.

@HereWeGoAgain

I tend to overlook KennyR's stuff, honestly, so I didn't even notice that snipe earlier.  As a result, I assumed, incorrectly, you were intending that toards me.  Sorry about that.

And the statements from Mr. Moss are the reference to Mr. Hare working for the investors in some capacity.  Anyone with corporate knowledge will know that the primary members of a company to work directly for the investors are the Chairman and CEO positions, so it gave some weight to the arguement.

The neverendiiiiiiiiing stoooooooooooory... lalala lalala lalala...

It's extremely comfy to just sit back and wait. Or, correction, not actually WAIT...  more like thinking "when something happens it happens, and if I am interested then I am interested then".

So far I am not interested. Neither in Pegasos nor AMiGA One. Too much money involed.  Maybe Pegasos 2 will change that. Maybe not. Maybe the release of the 970 will lower the G4-prices and thus making the A1 cheaper. Maybe not. Maybe AMiGA OS 4 will be kicking arse. Maybe not. Maybe AMiGA Inc. is going down. Maybe not. Maybe people, the followers, are being of the edge of exploding due to the tension and thus making the reason for the trolling very apparent. Maybe not.

Until anything concrete: *yawn*

Oh, let me repeat that: *yawn*

Oh, he's obviously just a blind zealot who likes to be lied to and therefore decided to head for AmigaINCworld.net - right?

I wonder what has to happen until the aorg team realizes that something is wrong here (I'm not just talking about this particular thread).

Amiga Inc. suck. But most of us don't visit websites to watch brainless trolls, MorphOS developers (Neko) or Genesi employees (downix) stating the obvious over and over again.

I think Mike Bouma is the most annoying propagandist left in this scene and I don't trust him that -><- much when it comes to moderating other people's postings. Yet the only thing that still makes me prefer amiga.org over amigaworld.net is the bigger amount of visitors.

But what the heck - I guess I'm just an Amiga Inc. fanboy, right?

This is fuc*ing amazing... Then the announcement of coming to amiwest was probably just some stunt to remove the rumours of gary being new ceo....

How can they  do this?

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

Did not really believe it, but really hoped he was.

What has always amazed me is the passion that some MorpOs users have for AmigaInc. Amazing ! :-)

About the news, no surprise there. What would AmigaInc be doing at Amiwest anyway? The poor lads probably don't even have money to buy a plane ticket.
