Grief, get back from a night's sleep and I find strong measures taken against Ray Akey.

It's looks to me as if it's still very much Wayne's Website, With Kees as a "front man".


I could not agree more.

I know I emigrated to amigaworld.net, but I´d rather be banned in solidarity with Akey. Wayne and his bunch needed exactly one reason to kick the (last?) amiga inc. guy out of here. Even if it was Bill Buck that started the trolling.

Wayne´s world, Wayne´s world, party time....
I hope you have a good timer in your new job at Genesis Wayne.

whippie!! free some room. Wanna buy a 1993 Camaro Z28 while you are down here?


Uhm. I wish I could have one of those :-)

But I've decided my next big purchase will be either a house, or a Rolls Royce. Stay tuned to find out which it will be :-)

I'm also wondering, what EULA? I have a boxed AmigaOS 3.1 here, don't see an EULA anywhere in the material.


Genesi specifically mentioned Amiga OS3.9. Whether or not there is a EULA for 3.1 does not really matter in this case. The question is whether there is a EULA for 3.9.

The other question is if it's enforceable.

I would think MarkTime would be all over this, but I guess he's only worried about Apple loosing money from not selling enough hardware.

Ok, let's make the first on-topic comment for a while ...
 
Assuming all quotes are true,it does seem to be a
discrepancy between what AInc IP Genesi thinks they can
port to the Pegasos and what AInc will allow. As I read it,
Mr. Buck says the ruling is in their favour. McEwen says
the court's still working on it.
 
Does anyone have an objective clue as to the status of the
court proceedings, rather than just guessing? Must there
not be some way of finding out if court proceedings are
concluded or not, even if the content of the negotiations are
not disclosed? Perhaps Genesi "won" the first round, but
AInc is appealing, and that's the cause for the different
point of view?
 
In short, does anyone - not having a severe bias - really
know, or is everybody just guessing as usual and base their
opinions on interpretations of obscyre comments in fora?

Oh my post got deleted...

How surprising!

Amiga.org - the place where people can have their own opinion and post with freedom... or not.

Well my comment was a reply to the actual post, so I guess I must have been out of line in some way...

care to clarify somebody?

Yep, that was good. That discussion didn't lead to anything constructive anyway (or how is it they say, "over there"?).

The site rules applies to *everyone*. Period.

Though I do think we need more clowns.
Wheeee! *salutes*
I have to admit I've been laughing my $%# off reading all of this.
'Wayne is still the man in control, boo hiss', 'the site shouldn't be called amiga.org, *whine whine*', 'it's not objective *cry cry*'.
Well duh, welcome to the real world.
Unless I'm misstaken this site is owned by Wayne (n00b here, but given all the comments I think I understood that much) and seeing as this is not a company site that would mean he can (and imho should) do pretty much anything with it he likes (ofcourse keeping the regulars happy is usually a good idea).
I may not know that much yet about the circus which is called the Amiga community these days but I do know a thing or 2 about how to run sites and their accompanying forums.
I registered here because of what I read on the forums, not because of the url. And seeing as this is a site by and for people who seem to enjoy discussing certain topics one can either decide to join in or stay out.
Who cares if the forums emphasize MOS more, if you don't like it make new threads or better yet start your own site.
I have NEVER seen that much comments (here and on another site) about this one being so biased. People tend to be biased about a subject if they're willing to invest time to create and build a community/site for it.
It's amazing how much energy seems to be wasted on wanting to change A.org's direction when it's the community that powers this direction.

/me takes off the clown nose and goes back to work

EDIT: ugh, crap, now all the OT posts have been deleted. Clown indeed  :-D

Unbelievable, buck calls us a bunch of morons, and the admins lavish praise upon him. We express a simple opinion and get our posts deleted. :-x  :evil:

minus kees :-) .

I thought Buck in exasperation mentioned that there were a lot of morons around - and then some of you just naturally assumed he meant you ; }

I don't think he named names.
