AmiWest banquet speakers have been confirmed. Past years
we have seen Amiga Inc. representatives, but this time
a panel of community notables will speak:
Bill Buck of Genesi, Kurt Grach of Mr. Hardware,
Jens Schoenfeld of Individual Computers and Kermit Woodall of ImageFX fame will moderate. One other participant remains, who will participate if the airplane lands in time.

Bill Buck and others to speak at AmiWest banquet : Comment 65 of 66 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Daniel Miller on 14-Jul-2003 23:55 GMT | In reply to Comment 64 (dammy): Here's some more promises made in a 19th November statement signed by Ben, Bill, and Alan:
"...Amiga Inc, Eyetech and Hyperion have decided that we will concentrate on four official large scale multi-format shows around the globe, in order to maximize our presence, message and exposure. This will compromise a show roughly every quarter, one for Europe, one for the US and Canada, one for the UK and one for the Antipodes (Australia, New Zealand and Asia).
The first of these shows will be the official launch of the AmigaOne and AmigaOS4.0, to occur at the CeBit show in Germany in March (and before anyone asks, this does not mean this is the release date for AmigaOS4.0, it means that CeBit will be the public launch of it)... Commitments have already been given to attend the SINTEP show in Toulouse, France in April 2003, and at least one of the Micromart shows in Birmingham, UK."
I don't think they made any of those, so that is a lot of broken promises right there, and Ben's name was right there with good old Bill McEwen, and Alan "early next year at the latest" Redhouse. Check it out before someone (Ray?) yanks it down as occurred with "On Schedule and Rockin'."

I'm sure there is much more out there where Ben says stuff that never happens, so I imagine that will be the case with this serving of a writ. I guess that means lawsuit but who know maybe it means he'll fork over lottery winnings or seek child support. Or fail to do so rather, it's just more talk from the promises gang.
I'll say one thing, if this was intended as a FUD attack on the eve of Amiwest, Ben blew it. BBRV razzed him, he lost his cool, and shot off early. And to me that is what it looks like. Point Genesi. |
