It's not a fake, that much has been confirmed.

That's a pretty wild allegation, seeing as you haven't got any justification in accusing anyone of having done so.
As I understand it, Bill says he didn't realise it was an interview, and thought it was just a phone call. IMHO, there's a bit too much "sales patter" for an ordinary phone call, but who am I to judge?

Shouldn't you wait for a "we didn't say that" denial from Amiga Inc before making that sort of accusation?

Perhaps you're just making wild accusations.

That would be nice. He needs to stop "shooting from the hip" and think about getting himself a "ball and chain": someone who vets what he wants to say and is able to point out what the repercussions might be. That way, episodes like this one - rather frequent in Bill's history - might be avoided together with a large dose of embarrassment. |
