And the total is.. 940. Not bad.
"Countdown to the draw: The promotion has ended. Coupon count may still rise as third party dealers submit their sales. Winners will be announced soon."
.. So, we could well make the 1000 mark, well done people, I hope you all order AmigaOnes as soon as they are available :)

The "I Am Amiga" promotion has ended! : Comment 67 of 134 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gz on 26-Jul-2002 16:54 GMT | In reply to Comment 62 (dammy): >>Although I will agree it only represents the gulliable since none of the cash is going to Eyetech or HYPErion who are actually building the system and OS.
My thoughts exactly, which is one reason among many why I didn't buy the coupon.
I don't want a cheap t-shirt (already got a camp miggy shirt) I don't want to be a member of some kiddie club (sounds like ronald mcdonald club. "Look mom I am an AMIGA!!!") and I'm already a member (of a community) so why would I send money to AI who haven't coded a single line for os4 or soldered a single thing onto a amigaone?
If I want to show support I show it to the right people who deserve it (people behind os4) by buying the damn thing when it gets here instead of pirating. Now that's REAL support and helps hyperion and eyetech more than amiga inc ever has.
To be frank I don't give a rats ass even if AI would go bankrupt tomorrow (well maybe a little as then I would have probably lost my partypack coupon) But the future of amiga would still be the same as it is now (maybe even a bit better) because hyperion would be able to continue with the development of the amigaos without somebody mongering for licence money all the time. At least hyperion delivers.
All of AI's products during over 2 years have failed to take up (sdk development still crawling in almost stand still, No "partnerships" with nokia, corel, sharp etc...) Hyperion on the other hand has come up with heretic2, shogo, sin, decent freespace, warp3d and now working on os4. Eyetech has also come up with a product, the amigaone. So the score is 3 to 0 for hyperion/eyetech.
AI should build a product out of their executive updates as they seem to be the only thing they can deliver promptly. |
