Would you allow a walk-through of your company? I am in Jacksonville, Florida all the time. I used to live about two miles from 6300 Arlington Expressway.
 
Edit: 10.31PM 10/02/2011: Is this the same company that had 24/7 support for Amiga in Cocoa, Florida?
Edit: 10.38PM Is this for real? I assume so, it is under amiga.org news, someone accepted it.
Edit: 10.40PM If it is real, super, if not, shame on you. Jaws the movie quote: "I don't think that's funny. I don't think that's funny at all"
Edit: 10.41PM Why so many edits? Why rewrite assembler language into REBOL, unless, oh...so it's a joke. (Just got so excited, all the good stuff comes out of Florida like Commodore USA) Actually listen to this: "The initial start-up financing of Amiga Corporation was provided by three dentists in Florida, who later regained their investment once Commodore bought the company." from Wikipedia

Why you are spamming this forum with this bullsh*t? This is not for real but yet another Amiga hoax.

well well. Haiku re-written in rebol. Sounds like a big task, but then again, I don't have to do it though.

I'm just passing along something 'miraculous', in the long Amiga tradition of
wild claims, and unfettered obloviations. I have no lofty corporate position or goals.

@amigadave the other source was from an obscure OS website. When I read it,
I thought 'Kathy is Fleecy who had a gender change?' Then I saw rebol and aros and haiku mentioned, and thought, are Haynie, Sassenrath, and the immortal remnant, launching one last incredible plan to fund retirement? But it's just so outlandish, could there be investors so rich and naive that they would take the flailing golden bait? I can't wait to see it unfold :rtfm:

Pound it in to me, that it's not really real :hammer:  PLEASE!

Real! :griping:  FAKE! :griping: REAL :griping:  Fake :griping:

I want the truth:furious:

The thread in your list was locked 5 years ago, and  likely the same person
as in the profile, now posts in another seemingly unrelated OS page about huge plans/goals/capabilities/skills, 5 years later, so mathematically one would assume some lady who is at least 50 years old,  who has spent enough time learning amiga buzzwords, to concoct some immense business plan. Whether ether or reality.

Maybe ageing programmers.  Pretty funny. Anyone call the phone number?  It isn't the facilities general number....  Maybe a patient?

Ignoring this particular project, is the 40billion.com site legitimate in what it claims to be there for?

More than likely in error. Moved to "general amiga chat", though the sock drawer would probably be more appropriate :lol:
