Over at amiga.org, the signature "takemehomegrandma" has published a somewhat satirical post - for your enjoyment, here goes:
I want to apologize that the AmigaOne has still not been released (A1 mobos+OS4). I also want to apologize to our competing companies that we have accused for crimes in public without being able to back those accusations up with either proof or legal action. I also want to apologize for not keeping our promises to you developers who bought our expensive SDK's. I also want to apologize to the users who bought our coupons, ehrm, JOINED OUR CLUB, but has not been given anything of the promised. I also want to apologize for the confusion when our offices suddenly were empty and our phones went dead (but that was a result of hackers, remember). Amiga Inc is truly a global 24 hours a day company and the future looks brighter than ever for our beloved AMIGA. We are pleased to announce a Games Pocket Pack to our friends Micro$ofts Pocket PC. This truly shows what a great commitment our 3000 content developers has to our beloved AMIGA. Wonderful things are about to happen as allways. Thank you, as allways, for your support. Keep the AMIGA spirit, and remember to follow our trademark wherever we go. We are AMIGA. You are AMIGA (if you pay us 50 bucks). We will be back with more exciting announcements during the next weeks. See you then! /Yours McBill
Well, there you go. Merry christmas!

"Season's Greetings from Amiga HQ": Hm? : Comment 102 of 220 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Fabio Alemagna on 26-Dec-2002 17:38 GMT | In reply to Comment 101 (Björn Hagström): > > What are "these kind of rants"?
> Rants that proves no other purpose than to further open the wounds that has
> been ripped through our community.
Aaah, so you acknowledge that the rant does actuallty say the truth, but unfortunately that's a truth that hurts. Is that your point then? Sorry Bjorn, but that's satire, just learn how to smile, once in a while, and stop believing this is a religion: this is about computing, and there's no "wound" in this community to heal, there are just companies and users, and companies who lie to users. That's all.
> Spewing fuel on the fire of hatred that exist between the different factions.
> And intentional or not only gives a pat in the back on the people who enjoy
> the hatred.
Dude, do you realize that the only ones who got it the way of "fuel on fire" are you and the other 2 or 3 ones who got upset like you? NO ONE ELSE, apart from you and a few others has actually seen it the way you do, the sane ones saw it as *satire*. Take it easy!
> > Bjorn, you really seem to enjoy childish fights, don't you?
> No but you do,
Oh, really? Playing the game of "I know what you think", aren't you? :)
> otherwise you would not go on and on with arguments like this
> all the time. No matter how wrong or out of context you are.
Hum? Bjorn, that's just silly of you... Must I remind you that YOU started this nonsense?
Ok, let me refresh your memory, then:
In the message http://www.ann.lu/comments2.cgi?view=1040818791&category=rant&start=51#message72 I wrote " In the "Rant" section. If you don't like Rants, don't have them displayed.", to which yuo replied "You do not have access to the cookie holding my personal settings.". Now, please, explain to me what has my ability to access your settings got anything to do with my suggestion to not have the rant section displayed.
I just seconded you, and then you blame me for talking about nonsense? LOL :)
> > Do you want
> > people to believe that you prefer to click everytime on the various links
> > instead than havbing the settings saved in a cooky?
This has absolutely nothing, nothing at all to do with the image of Ann.
I was responding TO YOUR CLAIM that you don't use cookies to store the settings. Indeed it has nothign to do with the ANN's image, but it got very much to do with yours and your lies or silliness (you chose which one suits you best).
> Why do you keep bringing this up. Because you enjoy "childish fights" ? My
> settings are totally irrelevant to anyone else but me.
And no one questioned that, the only thing I did was suggesting you to not have rants displayed if you don't like them. Now, don't ask me what have your settings got to do with my suggestion because I don't know, you should ask yourself. |
