It appears Amiga Inc never owned some of the hardware they were possessing. from http://www.murphyauctions.net/amiga.html

Amiga Inc is being sold by order of the property management. Some of the equipment listed has been claimed by vendors as of Wednesday, June 11, 2003. The equipment was only on the premises as a "loaner" to Amiga for development reasons. The following items have been removed from the sale:

IMAC PC
EPSON 740i printer
NOKIA MEDIA terminal
NETBOOK pda
SHARP pda
MY FRIEND pocket pc
AQUAPAD mobile internet device
VADEM CLIO pocket pc

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Streched truth, when I hear this, I always think on AInc first.

You said it yourself, the point is "to your knowledge".

Sounds like he must be glad he even got partially paid by you. I am sure there were enough people who would have worked for free. Just for the honour.
Gary, in case you missed it, it is quite usual in todays businessworld that employees get paid. And guess what? These employees can do whatever they like with their money. Yes! They can even buy bicycles.

The last part sounds like you are talking about Ben Hermans. Honest :)

Well, people change their opinion and companies stop paying wages. Life sucks, you know.

We all know what company AInc is. And if you don't want to discuss this here -> STFU.

It's funny how those people who consider A1 & OS4 as vapourware and Amiga inc as an irrelevance spend so much time and effort attacking A inc and it's employees.
Thou dost protest too much!

Basicly the same could be said about you, y'know. Besides, YOU are the one who brought this into the public, not Gary or anyone currently employed by Amiga Inc., remember? Tell me, what exactly is your agenda by bringing this into the public if not for the sake of discrediting Amiga Inc.?

Ah, our wannabe lawyer and hardware expert again. I remember you trying to discredit everything in reach which was only slightly relevant to Genesi. Remember "parasitic marketing" and software licensing issues?

Doublestandards as usual.

I really don't see the double standards in what you mentioned above and what I said in my previous post. The questions regarding MorphOS legal status was there way before I asked them and alot of these issues still as of today remains unanswered. Bolton, on the other hand, brings an issue that already has been settled in court into the public for the sole purpose of discrediting Amiga Inc.

It's still as of today, perfectly natural to question MorphOS legal status since it's a fact that they have made use of Amiga Inc.'s trademarks and even names of their staff members and contract workers while marketing their reverse engineered OS. It is also a proven fact that they have made use of Amiga Inc.'s IP while developing it. However, I could never be the judge of wether MorphOS is legal or not, all I'm saying is that it's perfectly natural to question their legal status and will remain as such as long as the issue still hasn't been settled in a court of law.

Bolton Peck has had his case settled, that makes it perfectly natural to question why he brings the issue into public. See the difference?

Eh... the case is hardly settled for good if he has not been paid yet. As far as I know, he has not.

Public pressure and all. We can ask him to shut up when he gets paid. Doesn't really automatically make all wrongs right, but it is a first step in putting all this behind.

In reply to Comment 56 (Janne):
There are legal proceedings for these kind of things and they exist for a reason. Bringing the issue into public is pretty much like raising a wich hunt which has been proven throughout history to be a *very* unjust way to practise justice. Bolton should respect the legal proceedings as decided by the court, neglecting them and taking things into his own hands by raising a wich hunt against Amiga Inc. is only making things worse for himself.

What amazes me is the complete and utter ignorance from some people which has obviously learned *nothing* from their history lessons. They should all be burned like wiches at the stake, IMO.
