Didn't Kees have some Amiga socks a while back?

Maybe we'll see Boing Ball coffee mugs too? Personally I could do with a new mouse mat....

Am definitely running and hiding now!


Also I have a custom made AmigaOS3.5 mousemat. I will attach a picture of it if I remember.

I have no problem with merchandise like that being sold, just provided it gets delivered :-)



All the stuff on AmigaMall is handled by a separate company - AInc just charge them a percentage for using the logo.  So I'm sure it will be delivered promptly  :-)

How many copies of OS4 must they sell to recoup that?

OS4 has been prepaid, essentially.  Amiga Inc. must bank on whatever "DE" technology they have to survive.  Besides, don't forget about the Party Pack coupons, which also promise a free update to OS 4.1.

Having faith in insepid liars is quite the trend these days, which explains the Bush administration.


Absolutely.  I'm always surprised to see so many people thinking that the release of OS4 is going to generate income for Amiga Inc.  In fact it will have quite the opposite effect.  

As soon as OS4 is released, I'm going to be buying a copy, then sending my proof-of-purchase, along with my non-existant coupon to Amiga's non-existant offices to get my $50 rebate (it was promised as a discount, but still...).  1300 other CAM members will be doing the same.  So there's a nice $65,000 for Amiga Inc to cough up (from where?).  Then we have all the current A1 owners and party pack purchasers adding to the bill.  

All the release of OS4 means for Amiga Inc is another $300,000 to add to their ever-spiralling debt.

Lets hope those Pocket PC game paks are selling well.

@Ryu

Well Escom did those stuff in addition to selling thousands of A1200s,
a few A4000T and developing the Walker. Thats o.k.

What has AInc actually produced sofar (and I mean AInc, not rebadged
3rd-party stuff), expect for "super-thin-t-shirts" and coupons ?
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

All things being equal, I'd rather wait two years for my T-shirt than wait two years for my CSPPC to come back from DCE.

Yeah, I know, I'm horrible and I'll probably get :flame: but I just had to... ;-)
I sold my Amiga for a small fortune, but a part of my soul went with it.

Man, looking at those mouse pads makes me want a guru meditation mouse pad to match my guru t-shirt. :-D
