[Rant] Enough - I will boycott Genesi/Thendic products | ANN.lu |

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 89 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ray A. Akey on 05-Mar-2003 01:34 GMT | In reply to Comment 88 (Nate Downes): This is going to sound strange coming from me since it can apply to "both sides" of but, a change of plans and/or direction (or pushing dates back, or not releasing something when an ESTIMATED date arrives, etc., etc.) is not a crime, morally or otherwise -- unless there is some binding contract.
When a change of plans was decided, Amiga has notified everyone through PR whether it be by news on our site or announcements at industry/show/conference appearances.
I can't speak for "the other side" but from what I've read they too, whether planned or otherwise, made changes (or at least pushed internal dates up as Nate says -- which to the outsider looks like a change of plans) but also notified their "target market."
It may look like lying, deceipt or "rip-off" and that's what many, who are in opposition to the given side, will claim but in the long run it is simply what it is -- a means to assure or project some means of staying alive and/or bettering your product.
Surely, that can't be bad, unless you're hanging on to a long dead past. Things change, computing progresses. We all do what we can to survive. As long as the final outcome is better than the original plan was to unveil, I don't see any reason to cry foul. |
