Also your attack at me in public is breaking this sites T&Cs, i would have expected a moderator to act discreetly and responsible instead of attacking members of this site in full view.


It was not an attack you always post negative comments . :flame:  :pissed:
I once had an amigaone xe but sold it .

Yes I agree

 It would be in best interest in community if Hyperion would let their guard down and have talks with Genesi. Genesi has shown they want OS4 on Peg to reconcile things.. this would go a long way to end the "war" and furthur the platform..

MarkTime: There is no diplomacy in a thread like this.  Look at the
children in this thread jumping on each other when the other is down.
Would you prefer we NOT moderate this and let Genesi users jump all
over you when they clearly have the upper hand?  Or would you want us
to keep it clean?  

This site has had a lack of moderation where threads were left alone
and posters just ran amok when one side annouced something etc.

Paul_Gadd/MarkTime/all: If you do NOT like the moderation, talk to
Kees or any other  moderator.  Or, just log out and go to another
website, nobody says you should come over here just to post flame bait
or to add to the problems.

If you have noticed, some of your posts have been edited by me.  Yes,
yes..your flames have been changed to reflect a positive outlook on
the situation.  :-)

In your opinion, but I don't see it happening. Besides, Genesi would have to talk to Amiga, Inc.

Anyway, let's get back on topic. Which is talking about a possible judgement in favor of Thendic Electronic Components GmbH in their case against Amiga, Inc. for breach of licensing contract.

when you insult hyperion and amiga inc. you also insult a majority of the users here, so show some respect, and leave whatever grudge/issues you have behind, so that we can move on


The majority doesn't give a damn about Hyperion nor about Amiga Inc. :roll:

@TBone

"At the time of the contract signing, Amiga Inc was represented by a rather well respected legal firm."


If it does turn out that we are in fact talking about a default judgement, we are left with the possibility that the case was not really decided on its merrits, but rather on the fact that one side didn't show up (i.e. could not pay for legal representation - this is what I was thinking of). In effect, that was then - this is now.

I want to hear more before I jump to any hasty conclusions, however. So should all concerned.

I can't remember where I found it, but there was a link somewhere pointing to the court papers related on that "merlancia" site. (The link was on some discussion board on the subject of the Amiga lawsuit. I thought it was this one, but I couldn't find it again.) That's what lead me to that site (and what's keeping this post on topic :-)). From there I went over to the realpix site. It's some kind of real estate site run by the same guy.

Anyhoo, guess what you get when you try to fill out the guest book on realpix.com.

GO F*** YOURSELF MERLANCIA! READY TO GO TO JAIL?


Without the *'s, though. I guess this realpix fellow thinks nobody leaves comments but Merlancia folks. That would follow, given the commentary he writes about the connection logs on merlancia.us. Anybody else think it's sick that he has pictures of McEwen's house, drive way, street sign, mailbox....? There's also creepy videos showing how he stalked Ryan C. all over town. And don't even get me started on his website design. :-)

People on both sides have exstreme views on the subject. Calling names or labeling them isn't going to change someone's mind if they have exstemely strong views. Alot of the time facts don't work either. The only way they will change their views is the long road to self realization of the situation.
Just beceause someone doesn't see your point of view or you can't convice them otherwise, doesn't mean that they are right, wrong, blind to the facts or anything else. They may have a very good reason or reasons of their own for how they feel. Just leave them be. Arguing with them is not going to solve anything.
Talk to the open minded people instead. It can be a much better conversation.

Very True T-Bone, and Amiga Inc had good representation until September of last year, if they had not continually stalled the trial process, they could have gone into the trial with a lawyer and Genesi may not have gotten everything they asked for as surely Amiga Incs lawyers could have presented better briefs then what McEwen tried to present.

I had to do a search to find this news item just now because it wasn't showing up in the news area anymore. Did I miss the announcement, or was it made invisible without warning?
