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 216 of 220 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Janne Sirén on 29-Dec-2002 07:47 GMT | In reply to Comment 209 (DaveW): >Ah, JK again, BBs Joan of Arc.
>(...) what more can we expect from the Thendic Sock Puppet.
DaveW, please, whatever you do, cut that. JoannaK is not in any way affiliated with Thendic or Genesi, nor does she own or use Pegasos or MorphOS.
In fact, JoannaK was instrumental in getting sample parts for the AmigaOne AMR card Ole-Egil is building. She has helped the AmigaOne effort, but is yet to do anything of the sort for their competition. Why don't you acknowledge this?
Obviously she is an opinionated person, and with many of those opinions I can agree with, but that has nothing to do with belonging to any camp. She is just a long-time Amiga developer and user, like many of us.
She already bought the AmigaDE Party Pack. Whether or not she will end up with an AmigaOne or Pegasos in the future, or perhaps neither of them, is anyone's guess - as much as it is what any particular member of the Amiga community does when these new products are better available. I guess it is up to the market forces and free competition and that is how it should be IMHO.
Whatever your opinion of JoannaK may be, she is nobody's sock puppet. Trust me. |
