[Rant] [Rant] New Amiga Inc Address? | ANN.lu |
Posted on 15-Jun-2003 08:56 GMT by Bill | 24 comments View flat View list |
Reading the recent news about the auction and stuff I wonder what the new address of Amiga Inc and the new phone numbers are? Seeing that they were locked out of their office and "Amiga Inc is sold" (according to auction site) now, was there ever a new office and new phone numbers? Is there a reason to hide this information? Or were they just unreachable in consequence of the lockout. Seeing that a Nortel phone router is also auctioned, this seems more likely.

They are presumably all working from home, which is what they should have done in the first place until the business was bringing in enough money to justify big offices with football tables.

I think EVERYONE has missed the big point. Amiga tried to get an investment of 10-12 million a while back.
The big offices, the 21" monitors, loads of computers and all the rest of the scam were all a PART OF THE CON.
Your "mark" has to believe that you have an ongoing company with "promise", if the mark doesn't believe the story they aren't coming across with the money.
See the movies "The Sting" (especially the fake bookie front) and "The House of Cards". The $50K t-shirt scam was just as billyboy put it at Amiwest 2002 "rent money"!
I can see billyboy taking the tour with his potential investors, 21" monitors with a program reading hexcode from jpg files (for all the investors knew).
BB - yeah this is our worldwide cisco router/server that connects Amiga with over 3,000 developers all over the world. New code coming in on a daily basis - yep - we're really big time.
Here's our contracts with major European cell phone companies, here's our contract with MIckeysoft - we're a "content provider" to Mickeysoft. Yep - real big time stuff happening.
And here's our contract with Sharp - more content providing -
And a yell from a cubicle as billyboy passes by with investors -
Hey bill - we've got problems with the kernal in the liniing of the dynamic libraries and.....
BB - Not now Vladimir - we'll take that up at our next 3,000 developer on line conference - got to show these gentlemen our "content provider" stuff....
Big monitors, lots of show, and billyboy actually believing all his "contracts" were going to generate money.
This is what the "office" and equipment was all about - just a small scale Enron trying to keep the "dream" going....(or scam as you might prefer). |
