And then you'll see the link the Extreme Tech site (scroll down a littel and look underHard News), named "Amiga's Grand Plans Revealed ", and also this was emailed to their newsletter subscribers.

Tom's Hardware links to the Amiga news. : Comment 32 of 36 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 14-Nov-2002 15:40 GMT | In reply to Comment 22 (dakang): >Forget it Steve, there's people here who want AMIGA to fail. No matter what
>Amiga do, some people will still bitch and whine....
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. I hope it makes you feel better. But if you wish to open your mind for a moment, please consider this.
There are people in this thread commenting on Amiga Inc. and AmigaDE that have given them the benefit of the doubt. People who have purchased items from them. And learned the hard way.
I myself have also reviewed their products on many occasions and supported them when they got their start. But let me assure you, their products are crap.
I didn't want to see it at the time, I kept hoping this would improve, but it has not. Amiga Inc.'s publicly available products are very mediocre at best, and that is just me being generous...
Then come the lies. The ExtremeTech article is one good example of this, full of misinformation. Another is the AmigaOne fiasco last year when EyeTech finally blew Amiga Inc.'s cover and revealed that the OS4 and AmigaOne had not been progressing when Amiga Inc. kept selling Party Pack's with the premise that OS4 and AmigaOne were "on schedule and rockin'". And the incompetence. The coupon scheme was poorly implemented and now it seems people will not get the "early buyer" benefit from their coupons, in fact, there are not official instructions from the source as to how to use the coupons...
With this kind of legacy created in just three little years, there are a lot of disappointed and disillusioned people out there. They gave Amiga Inc. every chance, more than any other startup would have gotten. But Amiga Inc. has failed to be impressive or honest.
I mean, my God man, how can you expect people not to "bitch and whine" when Bill McEwen gives an interview with so many deliberate-looking mistakes as he did. If that was an isolated incident maybe it could be forgiven, but alas, it is not. It is a clear pattern that has been emerging during the past three years. |
