[Rant] Enough - I will boycott Genesi/Thendic products | ANN.lu |
Posted on 01-Mar-2003 22:14 GMT by Ace2k | 94 comments View flat View list |
After the comments on here by Bill Buck himself I`m not buying any of his products.
I have had enough of Bill Bucks attitude and have decided not to buy any of his products.
This is my choice -his products have potential. But no.
1) Lawsuit against AmigaInc
2) comments against Amiga companies
3) Personal threats & slander
4) questional piracy comments
5) Peg1 to peg2 change
These are ANTI-AMIGA actions on this fragile community.
Enough is enough.

Enough - I will boycott Genesi/Thendic products : Comment 10 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by bbrv on 02-Mar-2003 07:42 GMT | Hi Ace2k,
Since you have mentioned my name specifically, I should be able to answer you. I will using the order you listed...
1. The lawsuit against Amiga.
Our license for Amiga DE, our legal complaint for Breech of Contract, and Amiga Inc.'s answer are all a matter of public record. The Court will render a decision after all the issues are considered. Discovery and document production are next. People will be able to make up their own minds as many more details become public. It seems time for many things to become more well known.
2. Amiga "company"
If you are discussing Hyperion, what exactly did we say against them? We offered them a Pegasos and to support the process of bringing OS4 legally to the platform (please do not misquote me -- there has been enough of that).
3. Please post here the "personal threats and slander" I am accused of making.
4. The OS4 dongle "strategy" is based on concepts that indicate a significant lack of understanding of this market. There is nothing questionable about what we have said. You may have a problem understanding that.
5. The Pegasos I to Pegasos II change? Do you think this is something bad? You are really out of touch here. We are offering a complete upgrade for 200 Euros. If you are a Phoenix member that would be roughly 599 Euros for a G4 Pegasos with DDR and three one GB ethernet channels. What is wrong with that?
Contrary to being anti-Amiga, we are actually bringing many people back to the Community and organizing many that are still here to do something useful. You should see all the new subscribers to the Phoenix mailing list for Resellers, Application Developers, Game Developers, User Groups, the Demo Scene, etc. Have you noticed the "Kommunity" is getting smaller and smaller and the real Community spirit is coming back.
Finally, the Pegasos I sold out so you missed you chance to boycott the products already...;-)
Sincerely,
Bill Buck (and Raquel Velasco) |
