I thought this deserved its own news item, in order for me to clear my name of the vicious ad hominem attack on me by Mr. Peake. As he'll no doubt be aware, there is PLENTY of personal stuff I could bring up, but it is not germaine to the discussion of Amiga's finances, my lack of payment or anything else. If he'd like to talk more about it in public or in private at AmiWest, well, he can bring it on ;-) With that said, here's my response to this scathing critique..

Firstly, Gary mentions my mountain bike. My $500 mountain bike, which anyone into cycling will tell you is a cheap bicycle. Gary knows I bought it in September 2000, when Amiga were still paying us, but implies that I got it on January 3, 2002 (uh, that is AFTER christmas) with the late check. We paid bills with that check instead. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that five months in 2002 where we couldnt' afford two cars so I rode that 'expensive moutain racing bicycle' to work everyday so my wife could have the car, our 1979 Cadillac sedan. I also rode it to work during 2001 to save on gas money.

Next, the bonuses I got while I worked there. I don't know what he got as a 'Director of Developer Relations' (his title at one point) but I only ever got ONE bonus, of $1500, while I worked there. It was in June 2001, after we hadn't been paid in a month and Bill handed them out as a 'thank you' for staying on. I didn't mention it, fair enough. I used half the money to buy a video camera, which I returned two weeks later when it was obvious I couldn't afford to keep it. Gary knew the whole story, but failed to mention it.

Also, I took two weeks off from work when Rose was born, and I did take half of September off for the AIDS ride (I didn't charge Amiga for that whole month, by the way). I was allowed to work at home for a time, because Janet had to work to support us, although Gary has done some exaggerating of his own here. During my whole tenure at Amiga I called in sick exactly THREE times, and one of them was from the bike shop exactly in the middle of my daily bicycle commute. I felt sick, I stopped there and used their phone, then turned around and went home.

My testing was exactly as productive as Gary's work in funneling those '3,500 developers' applications onto my desk. The half dozen or so developers I did work with all seemed polite and efficient. Maybe Mr. Peake was hiding the other 3,494 of them from me. We'll never know, because Gary had his OWN T1 line into HIS CUBE ONLY, totally independent of the corporate LAN - his data was 'too sensitive' for the company wiring. (of course he was also connected to the company LAN).

While I am not for copyright breaching as such, I must say, that given the behaviour shown by Gary during his amiga tenture, I would be most interested if that Cube and his machine were part of the auction. I wonder what was on such a box that was so carefully hidden from other peoples prying eyes...

The comments above sound ever so typically 'Dot Com' era behaviour.

I have never seen Mr. Peakes comments here on ANN or indeed anywhere I usually

shouldn't replies in the matter rather be made in the *same* forum the original
critique was posted in ...?

The recent thread about the auction.

Actually, these are just a repeat dose of frequent comments Gary has been making for some time on the Team Amiga mailing list, where he accompanies each post with the demand that everything he says should never be reproduced elsewhere (thus avoiding the possibility that the targets of his allegations may actually reply).

As far as I can see, we have Bolton's allegations, partly backed up by his court case, against Gary's allegations, backed up by absolutely nothing at all.

Actually there is no real contradiction on the "facts". Each party is making a different selection from the total set of events.

Bolton is saying he didn't get all the pay due to him. That has been agreed in court. Gary is saying he wasn't worth paying anyway, which is a personal opinion and irrelevant, IMO, whether true or not.

Now I know why I hadn't seen it. After three(four? five?) similar "news"-items
all related to the auction and, most importantly, all resulting in the same
comments (not in this case though), I tend to not read more than the first five
comments or so ...

I'll drop out of this one too now. I already sense how the usual flamewarriors

Amiga Inc are victims of a smear campaign, they are a well loved and very proffesional company who the Amiga users adore, Amiga Inc has always been there for us Amiga users then get stabbed in the back by a lying ex-employee then fellow Amigans join in attacking the good people at Amiga Inc.

Amiga Inc have done amazing things for the Amiga so lets all show them support in their time of need instead of turning out backs and biting the hands that feed up.

I need to wipe the tears from my eyes at is really is upsetting me.

It is "news", just as much as Dave Haynie or Dr. Peter Kittel posting "behind the scenes" information about Commodore on Usenet back in the nineties was "news".

I'm not so much interested in boring press releases - I prefer reading (and covering) postings that tell me just a little bit more about the companies that drive this market, and the people running them. This is what has interested me the most back when ANN first came to life, and is still what interests me the most - even if this sometimes creates controversy and requires visitors to form their own opinion based on a multitude of sources that might each present a personal, and possibly flawed, viewpoint.

Yes, I hear what you're saying, but this isn't about the company, it's about Bolton. Essentially, it's a post by Bolton about Bolton and his own opinion of his performance for Amiga Inc.

I fail to see how this is news. The court case, yes. The reasons behind the court case, yes. The result of the court case and testimonies given later as a result of non-payment according to the judment in the case, yes, all of those were news. This? <shrugs>

I think it is interesting to read that a full-time employee had to ride his bike to work to save on gas because he never knew for sure when the next paycheck might come. This gives me an insight into a company I wouldn't have had otherwise, and as such such a seemingly personal information is indeed news-worthy.

I also find it interesting how an Amiga Inc. employee can post so much personal information and accusations about a former coworker, while at the same time being so sensitive about his personal information being posted...

Personally, unless the “news items” brought up by Mr. Peck—in this thread—can be independently verified I don't see how anyone could call it news. Without independent verification the claims of one person about another person are no more than gossip.

We should all be more adult than to encourage gossip in any case, particularly because of the fact that gossip can be extremely damaging without having any basis at all in reality. I'm not certain of this, but I think the law almost universally calls that slander, which can be punishable in a court of law.

Both Mr. Peck and Mr. Peake—should I actually find the implied comments from him—should learn to govern their pens more effectively.

Bolton v Amiga....

While mudslinging in public is fun to watch. It's sad that Amiga would bring this to public. Bolton if you feel Amiga owes you monies and they're worth the effort take them to claims court. Yes, it'll may cost you a bit but sometimes the victory is worth more then the price of the battle.

While I feel for Bolton and have been treated poorly in the past by a Tech Firm. Pull up your boots and get on with life. It's sad the way Amiga acted, assuming all of Bolton's claims are true, and it's sad the way Bolton acted, assuming all of Amiga's claims are true. In real life the truth usually lies somewhere in between.

Good luck Bolton. But please bring it else where, like in a court of law where something can actually be done about it.

From Bolton:
"I thought this deserved its own news item, in order for me to clear my name of the vicious ad hominem attack on me by Mr. Peake. As he'll no doubt be aware, there is PLENTY of personal stuff I could bring up, but it is not germaine to the discussion of Amiga's finances, my lack of payment or anything else. If he'd like to talk more about it in public or in private at AmiWest, well, he can bring it on ;-)"

OK, I'll make one last reply to you here Bolton, since you prefer public forums. The "ad hominem attack" I made (as you call it) is nothing more than a response to YOUR ad hominem attacks on those of us still working with Amiga in hopes that people will start to think for themselves and consider the sources of information and the fact that any new start-up is always a "risk venture" no matter who funds it or who runs it. Great companies and bad companies have all had their ups and downs when they first enter the marketplace. Some survive, many don't. In light of all that has happened (some OUR mistakes - and I include YOU in this Bolton - and some market conditions) since January 2000, we have beat the odds of survival thus far.

My "response" to your previous post was just that, a response to show that there is more than one side to your frequent diatribes here and also to show you that you are not just hurting Amiga Inc. as a company, but also those of us who have chosen to stay and work for the dream we all have. Right or wrong, we are entitled to do that, regardless of what you or others here may think or feel.

I am content to let the people here judge on the merits of the posters. Let them judge based strictly on integrity. You have broken your NDA with almost every post you have made here and embellished facts as you saw fit to do so. You have spoken out of school concerning your court case (and probably against your attorneys wishes if he is smart)and certainly violated several court imposed orders concerning private despositions made in your case and again embellished facts. You are playing up to direct competitors of Amiga Inc. whom you soundly trashed on an almost daily basis while you were at Amiga. Your rendition of "personal" events, while thay have "some" basis in fact, have again been embellished to present a "woe is me, poor Bolton" outlook. I have no issue with you trying to get what you think is owed to you. I do, however, have an issue with the constant embellishment of facts, which paints not only the company, but those of us who have elected to stay and work as "evil" or "ignorant" and you as some great hero. We are all just people trying to do our best. You no longer work with us. You have a new "agenda" to work for. Have fun, get on with life, and let those of us who wish to stay with Amiga do so without having you trying to knock us at every opportunity because you couldn't stay and work towards that dream you and the rest of us talked so much about.

We all went to work at Amiga knowing it isn't a Walmart with company stores in every city and a guarantee of anything except being able to work for a dream, and work HARD for that dream from the ground up, make some mistakes along the way (ALL of us, including you), and have ownership in a "risk venture" that certainly could have (and has had) its up and downs. We had meetings about this subject regularly when you were there, so acting like you weren't aware of conditions at every given instant is disengenuous at best. As a group, we talked often about the risks we were taking, you included. Some of us want to continue taking that risk and are continuing to do so despite your and others best efforts.

There is no need to try to insinuate yourself into decision making processes of which you had no input. We all said and knew Amithlon was a great little product when we saw it, including Fleecy. Bill said so just days after we had originally seen it when he went to AmiWest that year. Acting like anyone inside Amiga tried to deep six Amithlon is an embellishment and you know that. Your effort to gain "more points" by acting like you were the only cheerleader for Amithilon is inaccurate. People should know that your last post was "incorrect" factually as has most of your other "information" posted in the past here.

So, let the people judge, Bolton. I have broken no NDA's and have not compromised my integrity or my beliefs. You have. Let the people trust who they wish based on whatever criteria they choose. I am content with that no matter whom they choose to trust. I have no axe to grind so won't debate further on the issue as long as I see no more embellishments from you.

And your remark about "me and others" infecting you with anti-Genesi thoughts is almost hilarious. Anyone who knows you personally, knows that no one could ever "infect your thoughts" or "convince" you of anything once your mind is made up. Any dastardly opinions you rendered about MorphOS and Genesi were strictly yours and yours alone. Trying now to move away from those opinions is again, an embellishment of facts that many here can see through. If you are going to break NDA's (and your word and integrity), at least be truthful in all other respects. Life is just too short to compromise your beliefs.

As some have said here, this isn't news. Move on with life. Have fun. Let us do the same.

I guess you havent been paying attention. Bolten did in fact take them to court, and win in December, the court decided Amiga Inc owed him about 30K. Now he hasnt seen any of that money, but he's already done what you suggested and the court case is over. Bill McEwen's deposition in April about why the debt to Bolten had not been paid was very interesting, but Gary, nor Ray, nor Fleecy will talk about that.

Sorry if I missed it. If Bolton won in court and Amiga, Inc. isn't paying then Bolton will have to go back to court. Amiga, Inc.'s president and shareholders are responsible for the company's actions or inactions. If Amiga Inc. is not fulfilling a legal obligation they may be found in contempt of court. Once again back to court. But out of here please no need to be mudslinging at each other. Amiga pay up. Bolton if they aren't back to court to find them in contempt and have monies garnished from the company and perhaps the company's principals.

Okay, I surely do appreciate the neutral and objective nature of that anonymous post. But actually I also appreciate Bolton Peck sharing those information with us. Because it's not any kind of IT firm we're talking about here. It's AMIGA, a brand and firm that we're all interested in and somehow emotionally attached to. And if that firm cheats on its employees (assuming that Bolton is right) it surely is of relevance for us. Especially if internal information are revealed that highly question and miscredit the coorporate status, level of professionalism and future of that company AMIGA, Inc. And since AMIGA Inc.'s track record and methods haven't been promising in the past, I'd really like to avoid being punished for caring about the AMIGA by being fooled (again) ... And that's not too much to ask for.

Hi Gary, as you know out of every one at Amiga Inc. I actually repect you and your level headedness.

But I am now astounded at your rather large, beautifully written post that said nothing... other than "Leave us alone". What I would like ask you is this:

Bolton (or who ever he is, I'm not really paying attention) has been awarded 30K but the courts. Ok fine, but from what I gather he has not been paid. So what is he to do now? I don't want to support this guy nor imply that your post was unfair, but really, what is he support to do?

The Courts have decided that Balton has a case... I personally am satisfied that he was unfairly treated, this has certainly clouded my view of Amiga Inc. and I would think twice before I would work with/for them.

Had he been paid his money, this issue would never have come up.

"What do you think a court can do about it? The court has already said Amiga Inc. owes Bolton a large quantity of money. It's not their job to get it for him, if that was even possible."

That's not entirely true. The court had a finding and assuming Amiga did not file an appeal of the verdict and aren't paying Bolton then the court can hold Amiga and it's officers in contempt of court. This could result in the court jailing officers, unlikely, but more likely forcing Bolton to the top of the list if a bankrupcy filing is done. Also, officers in the company could be ordered directly to pay.

While true the court can't force a company to write a check. They can put liens against officers homes and other items. Sure, Bolton won't get any money until that individual sells the home. But, it can make it difficult for the company or individuals to get credit and do further business.

Amiga Inc is a pathetic company with alsorts of criminal activities behind closed doors and what makes it more pathetic is the brain dead people who continue to worship Amiga Inc after all this stuff has come out.

Amiga Inc is a dead company with no life left in it at all so all you worshippers really need to give it a rest and move on with your lifes and cheerlead a company what deserves it.

>He wasn't getting paid and then when they finally gave him a check for $1500 he went out and got a video camera? To film his very own version of Amiga Deathbed Vigil. ;-)
