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 111 of 220 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Alkemyst on 26-Dec-2002 20:06 GMT | In reply to Comment 107 (Björn Hagström): Björn Hagström
I agree with you 100% .
The image of Ann has nothing to do with yours or Anyone else's settings.
First impressions matter and i would not want first time viewers to see such a thread.
As some mite not think ok! this is a Rant & i will infuture just untick Rant.
They will most likely just be put off full stop.
I the Ann owners dont wont to give such an impression then its totally with in there power to do so.
Björn Hagström i dont understand why the other guy does not understand what your point is.
But if i were you i would not bother continuing with him.
Its just not worth the time and effort, like many AmigaOs ppl have done & more & more are thinking about Ann.
Some now only read and never post, some dont read it anymore at all.
Some will read rarely and post rarely as they dont want to get into what you have just gotten into to often.
You notice that its very one sided on Ann.
There are more MOS supporters speaking here than AmigaOS supporters.
You will see long threads with loads of MOS ppl & only the odd AmigaOS person speaking.
If it was not for that odd AmigaOs person speaking then the MOS ppl would have noting to keep the thread going.
I have seen some very sort threads that have been anti Amiga.inc cos Aos ppl have not replyed to the MOS ppl.
You dont see ppl like samface here much anymore cos he knows its just a waste of time. |
