Statement From Bill McEwen on Thendic-Amiga

[DaveP]

Thats OK I needed something to put on my chips

:-)

( fries )

[Warface]

My god... I'm away on vacation, and find a bunch of well known amigaworld.net trolls howling here when return... I don't know what has happened, I was not here, but from the remains it seems you are here to destroy a once beautiful amiga site completely.

In that you resemble to your "sacred" mother company...

As to the credibility of Bill McEwen posts is NONE. Threatening me with some EULA is hilarious. And not at last, it's pretty hard to misinterpret it: FUD just as the illegal sources accuse concerning MorphOS.

Ain't it's enough of the "MorphOS is illegal"  this way or the other suggestions?

Congratulations to the Community and our mighty leadership. Some ppl are unbelieveable...

Kees will have a hard time. In his place I'd immediately resign and leave you alone.

@Warface

Kees will have a hard time if people continue to bring further old arguments into the sphere of discussion just for the hell of it, like you just did.

@bbrv

If Garry Hare is Chairman and CEO why is/was he not the one to appear in court defending Amiga Inc, after all if he was Chariman/CEO the buck (no pun intended!) would stop with him!

I sadly agree. Mine is not an inch better. Yet this thread (as I see it from the remains, and I repeat, I haven't seen everything) is stuffed with "Thanks Genesi" for all the hardships and wrong we have.  We leave now. We'd stay, but we won't. You are all ugly here.

All that after six days of relaxation and life in some peaceful place. With ordinary, nice ppl all around. I think I'd go back instantly if I could.

[DaveP]

Sounds like how I feel after I take a break from the "scene" :-)

@Warface:
I don't see that Bill threatened end users at all. But I would say it is a bit odd to see Genesi claim you can run AmigaOS 3.9 and Mac OS 9x/OSX on the Pegasos when all three of these would mean breach of EULA. You as a person aren't really doing anything bad, but Genesi is deliberately tricking people into breaking the EULA. And the legality of breaking that is NOT up to Genesi or you as an end user to decide.

Again, I don't feel I'm doing anything wrong running 3.5 on an Access, but I would say it is something else entirely if it came bundled with it. Licensing isn't done to end users, it's done to OEMs, mkay?

Take it easy.


@Others

This is one of those issues that wasn't handled professionally by either of the companies. Buck giving BS at ann.lu, followed by far the lamest executive update.

Buck:
Pyrenees-dog-owner to ex-Pyrenees-dog owner: Please have another vacation of forums now, or at least check the background so it's 100% and not a hunch.

McEwen:
If that is the best you can come up with, you better shut up aswell. You can't imagine the amount of laughter towards your executive update, not only from Amigascene but from Win/Linuxscene aswell.

When I met you last year at WOASE you were only too happy to talk to me. Supporting Amiga inc, etc, Now I find you making personal and unwarrented attacks on me.

for the record, I publicly object to your personal attack calling me dishonest and a liar etc.

You sir have sunk to a new low, I could reply in Kind, but out of respect for Kees I will abstain.

I just wish he'd quit signing off with "God Bless" - it makes him sound like my Granny...      :-P

I don't believe for a minute that the site was hacked and the password accessed. Please carry through with your threat to leave.

RLFrost

Gee you signed up to Amiga.org under an alias (make your first post in this alias) Just to troll me?

Thanks I didn't think I was worth all that effort

Think I'll stay now and ruin your day.

Well for once, I didn't see much to fault with the Executive
update (but it's a sad state of affairs that it has to be posted
in the first place). It simply stated that the court decision is
still in flux. If that is AInc:s view of the story, it should be
heard.
 
I feel the EULA business was perhaps a little unnessecary
to include, but to me it more feels like this "reminder" is
more aimed at Genesis possible new bundle rather than
already present offerings.

The interesting thing about the flame wars between Amiga and Genesi supporters is that both sides have  optimism in buckets.

What is it about either solution that will make them into profitable markets? What is the 'killer' factor that will grow the user-base?

Believe me (you may well not of course), I would like to see the 'amiga' community grow again, but what is going to fuel the growth to significant numbers?

[bhoggett]

@Mikey_C

I talk to anyone, but that doesn't stop me calling a spade a spade when I see one.

You sir have sunk to a new low, I could reply in Kind, but out of respect for Kees I will abstain.

Whatever. I don't make blatantly false accusations - which you continue to do on AmigaWorld.net - and I don't tell lies in support of one faction or another. If that offends you, tough. This place was better for your absence, and your return has lowered the tone once more.

Why don't you go back to your natural home with all the other sycophants?

[Opi-Poi]

Trouble is ,
when one side does eventually win the court case ,
will this community believe or accept it?

[meerschaum]

@DaveP

so what do you suggest? we just forget all that we've heard about Amiga.inc and give them the credit we would any other company???... that sounds a bit insane comming from you of all people who professes to be soundly grounded in 'logic' and 'moderation' and whatnot... how can you expect people to ignore and stop referring to past events?... thats part of life... you're judged by your record...

if the soda tastes like poisen its probably poisen and if it  continues to taste like it... stop drinking it, stop buying it, and warn others about it!

thats a good metaphor for this current situation.

@All

the biggest fault with this update is 'why now?" if Bill could have posted updates and is indeed in contact with all etc etc etc... why hasnt he been making updates regulerly? why havent we heard more about others things?... I dont trust it one bit....
