It appears Amiga Inc never owned some of the hardware they were possessing.
from http://www.murphyauctions.net/amiga.html
Amiga Inc is being sold by order of the property management. Some of the equipment listed has been claimed by vendors as of Wednesday, June 11, 2003. The equipment was only on the premises as a "loaner" to Amiga for development reasons. The following items have been removed from the sale:
IMAC PC
EPSON 740i printer
NOKIA MEDIA terminal
NETBOOK pda
SHARP pda
MY FRIEND pocket pc
AQUAPAD mobile internet device
VADEM CLIO pocket pc
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

| Posted by Tronman on 17-Jun-2003 07:16 GMT | In reply to Comment 38 (Gary Peake):
I can see that, I guess that is why you are talking about all sorts of inside company information. Most all of which is an exaggeration or an outright lie in its own right. You know good and well that I talked to Fleecy about Amithlon and he told me it was a 'dead end product' and didn't fit our 'roadmap', and that I practically stood on my head to get us to buy it. I must have bugged Sanjay a hundred times about it..
And this is downright unprofessional to mention my bicycle, which you know I bought over a YEAR before the christmas check you mention, carefully stringing it together to look like I got the bike on January 3, 2002 versus September 2000 when I did buy it. You don't mention that I only ever got ONE bonus while at Amiga, and that I had to return the camera I bought with it because I couldn't afford to keep it due to further missed checks. And that when we got that bonus, it was less than half the months pay for which we were already owed. Some bonus..
You don't mention how I rode that 'expensive mountain racing bicycle' to work every day for 5 months in 2002 when we couldn't afford two cars. And yes, one of the THREE times I ever called in sick, I stopped at the bike shop right in the middle of my daily bicycle commute. I used their phone, turned around and went back home.
You also don't mention that I had to stay home with Rose due to Janet having to work to support us, you know this is true, and that my testing was exactly as productive as you funneling the work of those '3500 developers' to my desk. The half dozen or so whom I did work with were all polite and efficient. You must have been hiding the other 3,494 developers from the company on your own private T1 line to your cube only, totally separate from the company LAN.
You know I did not mention a lot of personal things, staying only with the facts about the late checks, missed checks, and bad management decisions. I didn't get on ANN talking about Bill's expensive toys (mountain bike, $500; Victory motorcycle $18,000) or a boat load of other stuff.
Genesi et. al. are well aware that my negative feelings towards them at that time, were due to the bad info fed me from YOU and others at Amiga. You exaggerate greatly here too, but I've told them this, and apologized for being wrong. Never seen you do that..
This whole diatribe smacks of a last ditch, desperate effort on the eve of Amiga's equipment being auctioned off, to discredit one of Amiga's critics in any way you can. |
