But the page WAS updated... with snowflakes on the main page and a 'seasons greetings' message... yet NO other important factual updates to prove that Amiga Inc are a serious business.


Well, lots of us will be in Bath this weekend and lots of REAL Amiga A1's will be sold. Fleecy will be there representing A inc - sounds like a SERIOUS business to me. :-D

CAM is not news or business related, it is an online fan club magazine.
 

Have you read this months' CAM then... I thought not.  :-D

What exactly do you want them to say?

Wouldn't the fact that the Amiga Inc website *was* updated with an Christmas message indicate that they were still around?

It amuses me that some people will whine and bitch that they haven't said anything when they aren't under any obligation to do so.  

They have said stuff - in CAM, which admittedly isn't publicly available, but is good to hear.

But, there is no pleasing some people - they could announce that they had replaced Windows as the OS of choice for Dell, and *someone* would complain that it should have been HP or Gateway.

>The new CAM is already a BIIIG GOOOD NEWS.

I wouldn't call the fact that the gfx library is still not
fully ppc native, that you cannot expect a version for
the PowerUp cards on sale before x-mas and the
fact that you are being told that the G5 is nothing for
Amiga users "BIIIG GOOOD NEWS".

Well maybe the version bump of uboot is so great...

One could agree but is it not that if you have a website reflecting your business it should be sort of alive? Besides some snow flakes. This is not just about Amiga but about any company out there.

But yes, they are alive as we can see with the CAM and Fleecy at the show.

I'd call this snippet quite significant:
Last but not least, OS 4 is now booting and running on the BlizzardPPC hardware.

I would prefer to see news and information open to the general public, the entire world including the development community, not just a small number of people who belong to the CAM fan club. :-D

AmigaInc have decided to adopt a different strategy. They only share news with people who have paid for it.

People like me, who have been with  Amiga ever since i bought my first A1000 in 1986, and 4 Amigas since then, aren't allowed to hear anymore news (because i didn't donate money to their famous club deal).

In normal business practise, it's the opposite, with companies searching for every possible way to make good news reach potential customers.

But it's quite simple. No news, no AOne for me. :-)
I thought i had seen a lot in the Amiga history, but this is a good one.

And i'm way past the stage of caring anyhow.
