| Amiga Inc. Has Sold AmigaOS Rights : Comment 29 of 124 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by gary_c on 16-Mar-2004 02:16 GMT | In reply to Comment 26 (Graham_nli):
Garry Hare is CEO of KMOS (Kill MorphOS ??!), never Amiga.
Never Amiga? And you base that on what documentation? (And I don't mean the word of people who've already demonstrated dubious credibility.) KMOS itelf we know nothing about, except that it acquired Itec LLC, with which Amiga, Inc. made the sales agreement, according to the press release. Based on the profound absence of pertinent information, it's impossible to say if and when Mr. Hare was CEO of which company, although we can all have fun speculating.
BBRV clearly got a sniff of something last year, no-one ever doubted that. He probably heard "CEO" along the way. However the business card thing was clearly a fake. Quite disingeneous of him, or whoever made it up, I'm sure that the only reason was to try and de-rail anything between Amiga Inc and this KMOS company.
Hmmm, sorry but your description is even harder to believe than most of these conspiracy theories. As you must know, even fleecy stated that Garry Hare was brought into Amiga, Inc. in some capacity to "assist" Bill McEwen, or however it was worded. So the plausibility of Mr. Hare presenting himself as an Amiga staff member -- not as "KMOS CEO" -- is sound. You'll have to elaborate on the timing of the AI-Itec (not KMOS) deal and the business card appearance if you want to be convincing about the BBRV sabotage theory.
Really, it makes more sense to believe that BBRV are sincere in their explanation that they had the impression Garry Hare was the new AI CEO; then of course they interpreted and extrapolated from this in line with their own desires, which grated on a lot of people and turned out to be incorrect. As for the card itself, there's reasonable evidense to suggest that it's genuine. I'm anxious to hear Mr. Hare's own account of events; I hope he realizes what kind of strange world he's entered with this IP buy.
