Amiga Inc - An open letter to the Amiga community

[MarkTime]

He says its an open letter to all Amigan's past, present and future.  Hey, Billmunch wrote a letter to me.

I guess I can write a response too:
Don't waste my time Billmunch!

He says we don't understand the new Amiga has resources.  Ya right!   What about the stadium deal?

Investing in proven track records....ya right, what about all this crud about ACK designs, which reads like a hobbyist looking for some kind of geek validation, if I ever saw one.

It's the same old same old...

Nothing to see here.  

Billmunch, if you have such vast resources, you don't need my agreement on anything...and thank goodness, because YOU WILL NOT GET IT.

Sincerely,

past Amigan

p.s. mcB was absolutely told to not ignore classic Amiga as a revenue stream, and he decided to patronize the advice givers as not understanding 'real business'...mcB made bad decision after bad decision, no reason to blame Gateway, he got his chance to prove his mettle.

Ever think we're part of one of the biggest wind ups of all time?

Actually, I think it's quite reasonable. They can't ship a product that won't work. Nothing wrong with the hardware, but they don't have an OS for it.

That's no reason to withhold evidence that such hardware exists. A lot of people are demanding that, and without it they continue their belief that ACK is lieing to them. Linux is enough to boot hardware for testing and debugging, to get things truely ready for OS4, instead of waiting for OS4 and THEN starting to test/debug hardware. But considering how many people believe there IS any hardware, it's irrelevant and we'll still have nothing from Amiga/ACK after the lawsuit regardless of who wins.

What does Bill McEwen DO all day anyway?!??!?!

It would at least seem he reads the forums based on what he wrote here.  I then would suspect he gets quite the chuckle doing so.  So I think we are sadly merely providing more entertainment for him most likely.  I hope I'm wrong, but my gut tells me otherwise.

Bill, [Edited by Admin: Personal Attack]...  :madashell:
You are the biggest liar ever seen!  :crazy:

[Terse]

I agree with a-pex.

[PulsatingQuasar]

New hardware is being developed and ready to be developed in quantities!!!! :laughing:

Yeah, right.

If that's true then you know it is working and have some sort of Linux running on it. So show it to us at Amiwest or another Amiga show. If not then just go away with your pitiful lies.

Amiga Inc isn't a company. It doesn't have employees. It's nothing more than a tax tool for some rich asshole.

Amiga Anywhere.......huh...... better call it Amiga Nowhere. You have nothing.

[TheMagicM]

I get a kick out of Bill McNugget's email, everybody knows he's full of it and nobody cares.  LOL, what a total loser.

[iMacMiga]

I agree whole-heartedly with Oli_hd. The Amiga is nothing. It's dead, and it'll take an enormous electric shock to ever make it go again, and Bill McEwan is too cheap to even buy a 9V battery. I'll preserve the Amiga's illustrious past and the great machines that were born out of it, but I want no part in this so called 'future', if this is all it's going to be.

what i read above is actually confirming what i had thought of the majority of this community. Grumblers. it does not matter that people are doing their best to keep things up for those who actually **appreciate** that. i have a feeling that most of you grumblers think you would have done better.

so why the heck won't you prove that rather than sitting and criticizing others? or maybe you could rethink your complaints???

Any further questions?

[Calen]

umm not much new then in Amiga Inc land, maybe 1 day. :roll:

[Warface]

OMG

[SHADES]

@ Minuous,

"@SHADES:

Even accepting what you said, that still doesn't excuse their lack of direction/activity, lack of communication with the community"

Why not?
Simply, they have no product!
Why bother talking about something that hasn't materalised.
I see what you're trying to get at but realistcly, it's those other companies doing all the talking and being late, so late, umm, 4 years late keeping AMIGA from filling any promise it may have talked about.
Put quite simply, unless AMIGA can ship a finished product, it fails. AMIGA decided to shut up or put up. Personally I think it's a wise decsion from what happens even in it's own community. Too much damage on failed deadlines again. ...4 years *laugh you are right, what a pilliar of the AMi community those others are.

ZOMG!  Itec = IWIN!!!

The similarities are there! :-D

@Thread
Did you realise that "Bill McEwan and ACK" is an anagram for "Complete load of bollocks"?

[Doobrey]

@BootWB
 Amiga Incorporated is an anagram of 'A Dramatic Ripe Goon' and 'A Maniac Tripod Ogre', but I think yours sums them up best.

Back on topic..
They say a bad workman always blames his tools.
Here we see a bad businessman blaming all his business partners and potential customers.
