I am currently being threatened by my former employer (they are "compelled [to] take action against [me]") for the way I am running ANN, and how this allegedly violates my employment contract with them ("interfere _in any manner_ with any business relationship between the Company and any of its customers or business partners"). This might entail drastic changes to the relative freedom of speech ANN has always allowed its visitors, or ANN might close down altogether. Updated 10:00 CET.

Legal threats? : Comment 552 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Fabio Alemagna on 07-Apr-2004 20:42 GMT | In reply to Comment 544 (Bw): > It runs on classic Amigas.
Quite irrelevant, as also MOS does, as it did at that time...

You may be surprised, but I agree with you, and also Ralph Smidth, but unfortunately Amiga Inc did not, at the time:

"About your arguments about other HW....
What we`ve always told Amiga Inc....we have no problem
to support other HW *after* the OS is *done* on the HW
we develop it on. It`s complete nuts to try to develop
an OS on several different HW bases while the OS itself
hasn't matured yet. Nobody has these resources in this
market so a focus *is* necessary.
But these arguments don`t reach salesmen which may see
a potential risc to their *virtual* products while they
have no clue about development requirements and time
plans."

All the reasons are exposed in that thread, directly from the fingers of the personalities involved...

Sure, but I was not bickering, I was simply amused. |
