Thendic-Amiga Lawsuit Judge DENIIES Sanctions Against Amiga : Comment 71 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Vexar on 07-Oct-2003 07:37 GMT | In reply to Comment 70 (Rich Woods): Perhaps you yielded multiple interview-ees, but I (Joe Solinsky) recall having emailed you about the laptop, because I recognized its detailed description in your "list of stuff" after the landlord auction. I believe I was also asking about whether you found my ol' interview NDA and if you wouldn't mind tossing it in the garbage, because I'm sure I've violated it by now(if not, I'm about to). You could probably further corroborate that it was his personal laptop by rummaging through Amiga show presentation photos with Bill running a slideshow or demo.
In 1992, DNS wasn't universal. For clarity, I didn't do internet on my Amiga, beyond dial-up telnet sessions to a Unix machine that was on the internet.
I know the guy who did get the QA Director (cough cough) job died about 2 months after he started, so in retrospect, I'm really glad I didn't get the job, because if I didn't die myself, I'd be in court fighting for back wages, and stuck with having relocated to the opulent, if rural, Snoqualmie area.
I keep looking at the face of Bill McEwen, the way he could demo the blue sky like it was right there, on a 3 1/2 inch diskette, and I think to myself, this guy really can sell. It really is a shame that Bill didn't do more since 1999. If he had figured out that the next consumer electronics niche was DVD surround-sound integrated entertainment centers, he might have been able to pull off a "DVD32" kind of Amiga. A box that played movies, music, games, and could browse the internet. Sounds like the PS2 with targetted marketing. Hmm. (NDA Violation) Bill told me that one of the game consoles, maybe it was the PS2, ran Intent. How hard would that have been, really? Brand an OEM PS2, toss in a keyboard and some extras, charge $500, and sell it at Sears. I could just see the AV port being used to offer an inline Dolby Digital expansion module for speakers. If Bill had just bothered to start a revenue stream off something simple, and worked the traditional Amiga to this OS 4.0 destination afterwards, maybe Hyperion wouldn't be doing an OS "in their spare time," if their existing user base of "DVD32" users were on the beginning of the product lifespan curve, instead of the end.
