Apology accepted! : Comment 51 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gary_c on 08-Aug-2004 22:52 GMT | In reply to Comment 41 (AF): Amiga Inc did publicly "apologise unreservedly" with regard to the handling of the promotion.
And Fleecy is/was the CTO of Amiga Inc and makes technology decisions, so I think he is the right person to speak for that instead of Bill McEwen.
....It's on Amiga.com dude.
The link given by somebody else is just to the news headline page. For what it's worth (I'm bored and sitting at my office desk with nothing much else to do), the only apology on that page is for the late announcement that Amiga wouldn't be attending Cebit. I do recall an apology from Fleecy about the t-shirts actually; I think he said it in one of the "Ask Fleecy" sessions at Amigaworld.net, but am not going to look for it.
The significant difference, of course, is that Genesi's dealings with the OpenBSD developer were a private matter actually involving only the two company and the individual, whereas Fleecy was apologizing publically because the company had come up short in a public promotional deal involving apparently at least a thousand people.
Similarly, Matt Parsons publically apologized (on the OpenBSD mailing list, which is archived publically) because he posted damaging false claims on that list and was making an effort to retract the claims and set the record straight.
