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 212 of 220 | ANN.lu |
Posted by JoannaK on 28-Dec-2002 12:45 GMT | In reply to Comment 209 (DaveW): I see it quite funny when some people take smashing every single like of my writing one by one.. And doing that even without any care of facts involved into these issues.. I have no intention to go this all thru again.. I'll Pick just one.. 68K emulator.
Petunia. It's fact it's NEW emulator, appeared out of nowhere to be included into OS4. It has never been product of it's own nor it does have years of use/test/debug behind.
UAE .. (and Amithlon). Has been working condition since 1998 or before. Since that day been enchanched by lot's of people.
Trance (in Mos).. Was among first parts made for Mos. Has been (as non jit version) essentieal part of it at least from year 1999 or so.
Note that these dates are based information I have found in short notice.. UAE date is based on old FTP.sites, where binary distros to N systems were at 1998, original working versions are likely to be much older.
Note2... This is no sign of mistrust targetted to auhor of Petunia. I just hope you Dave understand how young and immature product it is when compred to those others.

Your friendly Sock Puppet :) |
