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 170 of 220 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Daniel Miller on 27-Dec-2002 12:37 GMT | I groaned when I first saw this article, because it looked like something
designed to rile up a certain element of the community and cause bickering. But
the article from takemehomegrandma was completely removed from its context on
amiga.org by the anonymous person who put it on ANN (to cause bickering IMO).
The context was that someone had started a thread on "Where is Bill McEwen's
Christmas Announcement" and that was when tmhg stuck in this parody, as one
post among many. Here on ANN it looks like tmhg uploaded it out of the blue.
You might like this humor or you might not, but if you want to blame someone
for causing flames on ANN on Christmas you should blame the anonymous person. |
