| AmigaOne/AmigaOS 4.0 "Free Stuff" Early Promotion Status : Comment 78 of 87 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by anonymous on 28-Jun-2002 04:05 GMT | Posted by Eyetech on the Amigaone mailing list:
"No this is not our promotion - and Bill will post the clarification details
later. But we are shipping A1 boards + OS4-OEM to dealers (inc Amiga Inc)
and that plus complete systems ourselves.
It is likely that you will probably be able to cash your voucher direct with
dealers - but it is down to Amiga Inc to give out the details of how this
will work. The main issue - as so many people have pointed out - is how to
avoid the banks becoming the main beneficiaries of what was a well
intentioned user support program (we pay euros15 ~USD15 on every receipt
transaction for example).
Also the law is somewhat different in the US. In Europe you cannot (past
Amiga-related companies excepted!) legally take money off consumers for a
product that isn't yet on general availability. And, to me, $50 seeems an
awful lot to charge for a T-shirt, with a non-legally enforcable right to
an equivalent reduction on an AmigaOne. You will of course (somehow) get the
$50 off - this is just really a problem of how consumer legislation is
inconsistent - and bank charges are inevitable - across the Global Economy.
That may also go some way to explain why it is Amiga Inc who receieve the
money and not us or Hyperion
Just a few facts to confuse the debate".........
Doesn't sound to me like Eyetech are at all happy with this scheme of Amiga's and it states uncategorically that "Amiga Inc receive the money" and Eyetech/Hyperion don't.
Do yourselves a favour and send $50US to Eyetech with a note saying please make sure I get a board from the first production run... It's money better spent.
Oh...and go get a T-shirt down the street for $5 bucks if you're naked :) |
