Ten Answers with Fleecy Moss! : Comment 65 of 155ANN.lu
Posted by MuLTiViEW on 16-Mar-2003 10:13 GMT
In reply to Comment 59 (Hooligan/DCS):
Heheh... I guess I was a bit harsh but after Fleecy has been treated so well and literaly worshipped...... I think a "balancing effect" was in order to even the scales back.

The Calculator bit bothered me on many levels... but not nearly as bad as the mentioning that they "considered" going to Microsoft for an IE port. Granted the "current".. and I say... the CURRENT browsers for Amiga are probably not as effective as IE, It saddens me to think innovation has seemingly been replaced by someone else's "standarization"

I remember when Ibrowse was barely 500k in total size, and IE was HUGE... yet.. Ibrowse did ok and yet for a while I heard it only had one person even working on it for a long time. Incredible what one person can do versus an entire company like Microsoft who is FULL of resources to draw on. (As well as funds)

No one got that point. Not on IRC... (They all said they'd rather have IE than anything made by Amiga... yes.. even NeRP said he'd rather have a PC browser than any browser developed by and for Amiga) ... and not on here.

If a program was developed on a particular OS... for that OS... then it's more natural to that OS. A simple port of IE to Amiga OS might end up being more buggy and problematic than expected.

Not to mention LESS updated than one that was developed on the Amiga and for the Amiga... (people I talked to tonite on IRC... did NOT see this long term effect at all) Also.. furthermore... if you "rent" someone else's browser.. like IE.. from Microsoft.. it ends up costing more money the longer it goes on.. than it would to actually hire someone to create a new one based on the OS.

Not only that.. but there is the strong possibility that any contract to include such a "Licensed program" on an OS Release, might also include other stipulations like.... "While this is being allowed... no other browser may be created or developed with the intention of replacing IE"

This sounds a bit crazy.. but it was actually told to me by someone... it means that if Amiga Inc were to "hypothetically" rent IE to put on their CD... Amiga Inc could NEVER make their own browser in the future..... or risk being sued.

If you stop and think about it... the sheer volume of problems that would just line up one after another if IE was "rented" would be amazing! And all of these problems would be far off in the future.. not near. So it's difficult for some people to even grasp let alone understand what a horrible mistake it would be to even "consider" it. So Fleecy's "consideration" bothered me.

And that's not all that bothered me about that. His attitude was that of viewing his own company as one that is "small" and "insignificant". This shows a lack of confidence in the product he's making or has worked on. It clearly shows, at least to me, that he thinks very lowly of what he's worked on since going to Amiga Inc. This comment of his alone needs further scrutiny and not just by someone like me, but possibly by his employers.

If I was in charge of Amiga Inc. right now, I would fire Fleecy Moss literaly based on his comment about Amiga being "small". This is a self defeating quote and I wouldn't tolerate it as it's hinting the company is simply inferior.

Such lack of loyalty is frightening from a man so deeply involved in something as crucial as OS development. It's downright disturbing.

I seriously don't trust Amiga Inc right now because of this.

Here it is almost April... I remember not long ago last year when everyone said... "AOS 4 will be out by August..." then. "Oh it'll be out before the end of November for sure..." then..... " someime before Decemeber ends.."

Heh... hell.. my friends on IRC STILL haven't gotten their AmigaOne boards and they've paid almost a year ago or more!

So people get upset if I slagged on Fleecy a bit? Obviously those people never had intentions of getting a new Amiga so they can't possibly understand the amount of frustration of being lied to... or the possibility that some are going through right now that they've been ripped off.

cheesegrater got called a moron tonite by a friend of mine on IRC. Someone who obviously overlooked a question cheesegrater came up with for Fleecy that I don't think ANYONE on AmigaWorld.net has the courage to ask Fleecy:

"Why was there no support for the party pack? "

Yeah... that was a good one. Oh, but I guess all the people who didn't send money in and lost it, wouldn't think that a relevant question to ask eh?

You know what... me and this other guy... whoever he is.. have been called flamers and trolls... I don't think that's true. I think we're a pair of people who are "damn mad as hell!"

I for one would like Fleecy to freaking answer some of the tougher questions for once instead of being babied and constantly given the red carpet treatment.

You people who disagree either want an Operating System that works or a Celeberty to drool over... how about making your choice and be done with it?
Jump...
