[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 34 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kelly Samel on 02-Mar-2003 17:19 GMT | I am not sure what could possibly give you this
opinion of Bill. In the time that I have been
investigating Genesi's products and direction I
have found Bill and the rest of Genesi to be
very helpful, honest and motivated to really do
something. Your comments are taken out of context
and with a lack of information in my opinion.
1. Amiga lawsuit? - Genesi has a right to protect
themselves legally - this is up to a court to decide.
I do not know the information or facts regarding this
so really can't comment.
2. I haven't heard anything particularly negative spoken
about Amiga companies, quite the opposite. Bill has been
working hard to bring Amiga companies together to
work on new software and hardware for this market through
several channels. (phoenix, forums, ann, amiga.org, privately)
3. Haven't seen any evidence of this at all. Look back at
yourself when you make this comment...
4. There has been some confusion on exactly how OS4 would end
up on Pegasos, but piracy was never mentioned or discussed.
It seems that Pegasos1 would make a perfect platform for OS4
though and I can see an Amiga company taking advantage of this.
5. Well Genesi is already onto their 2nd generation of products
with improved features and a great upgrade deal. Amiga users
just aren't used to new products being released in quick
sucession but this is the price of progress. ;) I recall
*several* Amiga models being released in the past so what's
the difference here? They are just giving people what they
want, a modern and powerful hardware line that will grow and
expand with the market needs.
These are not anti-amiga actions. These actions are rejuvenating
a creative spirit and community that has been sitting idle for
too long. I am in the mind of supporting all efforts that share
the common goal of creating a new and exciting platform for Amiga
users. Right now, Pegasos/MorphOS is the only existing product
that is achieving this goal with some success. I think Genesi
and MorphOS/Pegasos are here to stay so lets support them instead
of making unfound accusations... |
