Apology accepted! : Comment 59 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by AF on 09-Aug-2004 02:40 GMT | In reply to Comment 56 (Kronos): "AInc did take money for products that knew they couldn't deliever in a reasonable timeframe, and that they knew they couldn't pay it back. Not once but twice. Thats inacceptable."
How do you know that? Maybe they had good reasons to believe cash would be rolling within a few more weeks. You state this as if you are an insider, although for as far as I can remember you always was an Amiga Inc critic, so I doubt they would tell you any insider information???
"Hyperion (Benny the wannabe lawyer) called the competion bunch of thieves without ever giving any proove for these claims."
As I recall he pointed out that in his view MorphOS is illegal because it's developers would have seen AmigaOS source code and the ABOX is far too much like AmigaOS 3.x. He also pointed out quotes of respected people like Dave Haynie who did actually say Ralph Schmidt abused AmigaOS copyrights in the past.
"Eyetech did still sell cases "ready for A1" when everybody and my mom knew that the Escana-board was a dead duck."
They found an excellent alternative and consumers are smart enough to make their own minds if they want to buy into a half finished system or not. Have you forgotten that the main benefit promoted for taking G4s through its CPU slot while in fact few ever saw such expansion kit. How about the eternal promises of an up to date version of MorphOS for classic Amigas and hype about Macintosh support. (Remember BBRV's Mac Powerbook with MorphOS background?) Again I am just trying to point out your own bias by showing you your dear Genesi isn't by any means of the holy kind.
BTW haven't heard from Escena in years. Are they dead?
"Eyetech did sell products broken beyond repair (A1-SE) without ever offering a way to fix it at their cost."
Huh? AFAIK Eyetech has an excellent reputation so far. Where's your proof?
"Garry did hand out cards stating him falsly (or just premature ?) as AInc CEO, the egg in his face is all his own."
Agreed but that's not a crime. He even made fun of it. At worst it's an error Amiga Inc did not have much of a problem with. For BBRV to make tons of false claims about having insider information at the time was just faked.
So shall the "camps" quit their children's games. At least I am getting tired of it? |
