Bill, this has no bearing on the case. This dismissal has merely to do with a motion filed by Thendic requesting sanctions on McEwan's behavior in regards to deposition process (his mystery health problems, delay's and flippant attitude during the deposition). The judge felt sanctions weren't warranted, although he put it on the record his disapproval of McEwan's behavior.

The problem with claiming an ulterior motive is that we only have your word for it; good thing you're so much more trustworthy than Mr. Woods, eh?

Notwithstanding, you directly questioned RW's commitment to objective and timely reporting of AI's court travails, and I think you owe him an apology. If you wish to trumpet the success of your reverse psychology at the same time, feel free, but the expectation remains that you should directly address the aspersion cast in your earlier post.

It probably won't bother you that I'm rather disappointed that this needs to be pointed out...

Vexar spewed " Uh... That's not Merlancia's site. They have merlancia.com, if you're into that sort of thing. Rich Woods seems to be a hobbyist Amiga investigative reporter, and earned his stripes (as far as my memory goes) following the court proceedings with Merlancia. Call him what you will, but I think he's immensely valuable at providing the irrefutable truth + some unassuming commentary. Picking up the leftovers from the Amiga auction was quite a stroke of genius. How else could the Amiga users get their t-shirts, then? Better Rich Woods than a reclamation business, I say!"

The only stripe Woods has is the yellow one down the middle of his back.

He doesn't have any Amiga t-shirts. There never were any t-shirts.

I've never been a big fan of making light of real life historical villains, many people are still alive who lost a parent thanks to Josef Stalin.

But to jump in, and answer this ludicrous post, I don't think you even make a

Perhaps you should inform billyboy of that.

all they had to do was honor a contract they signed - well that's besides paying employees, not paying the insurance, not paying the rent, mail fraud, not paying the state of WA, and the list goes on and on.

No T-shirts - although I had some amiga caps, mugs, plenty of stuff from the auction not posted (Gateway system Amiga was using), plus all those HD, and a number of laptops - including billyboy's personal laptop. (Confirmed by a person who interviewed for a job at Amiga and was demoed by billyboy with his laptop.

In reply to Comment 70 (Rich Woods):
Perhaps you yielded multiple interview-ees, but I (Joe Solinsky) recall having emailed you about the laptop, because I recognized its detailed description in your "list of stuff" after the landlord auction. I believe I was also asking about whether you found my ol' interview NDA and if you wouldn't mind tossing it in the garbage, because I'm sure I've violated it by now(if not, I'm about to). You could probably further corroborate that it was his personal laptop by rummaging through Amiga show presentation photos with Bill running a slideshow or demo.

In 1992, DNS wasn't universal. For clarity, I didn't do internet on my Amiga, beyond dial-up telnet sessions to a Unix machine that was on the internet.

I know the guy who did get the QA Director (cough cough) job died about 2 months after he started, so in retrospect, I'm really glad I didn't get the job, because if I didn't die myself, I'd be in court fighting for back wages, and stuck with having relocated to the opulent, if rural, Snoqualmie area.

I keep looking at the face of Bill McEwen, the way he could demo the blue sky like it was right there, on a 3 1/2 inch diskette, and I think to myself, this guy really can sell. It really is a shame that Bill didn't do more since 1999. If he had figured out that the next consumer electronics niche was DVD surround-sound integrated entertainment centers, he might have been able to pull off a "DVD32" kind of Amiga. A box that played movies, music, games, and could browse the internet. Sounds like the PS2 with targetted marketing. Hmm. (NDA Violation) Bill told me that one of the game consoles, maybe it was the PS2, ran Intent. How hard would that have been, really? Brand an OEM PS2, toss in a keyboard and some extras, charge $500, and sell it at Sears. I could just see the AV port being used to offer an inline Dolby Digital expansion module for speakers. If Bill had just bothered to start a revenue stream off something simple, and worked the traditional Amiga to this OS 4.0 destination afterwards, maybe Hyperion wouldn't be doing an OS "in their spare time," if their existing user base of "DVD32" users were on the beginning of the product lifespan curve, instead of the end.

Actually, the PS2 was running Linux and BSD long before the XBox was hacked to run Linux.

Indeed, BSD is the first OS that was ever ported and released for either of the consoles (on to PS2 before even Linux was released for it).

It's been stated that they don't have

AInc wouldn't retire all this adverse

No, I'd rather believe the more obvious
possibility that THIS lawsuit has been
orchestrated with the intent to try and
finish off the trademark holders. The
Amiga name will then be either rendered
into legalistic limbo (so no one can use
it), or more likely, the trademark will
be used indiscriminately because there
will be no one around to defend against
it's misuse. Either way, the Amiga name
becomes effectively meaningless. If I'm
not badly mistaken, that is what the Morph
OS camp has been about from the begining.
They say "the name" no longer matters, but
as long as there is a company around calling
themselves "Amiga", there will be people
that will rally around said company out of
nostalgia, loyalty or whatever (or just mabey
they actually had an interesting plan, but
could not pull it off for various reasons
already debated endlesly in these very forums).

This is lawsuit #9 that we know about, and there are several collection agencies that havent taken it to court yet, 7 ex-employees who are owed money and havent filed court cases, and a dozen "current" employees that havent been paid at all in 17 months now, and only sporadically before that.

Nope you're the person who told me about the laptop and billyboy. I just didn't want to use names and make it public (and seriously was concerned about YOUR privacy - it was a private e-mail not a PUBLIC doc or disclosure).

I am totally amazed at the total lack of business ability by billyboy and the rest of the flunkies.

With the salaries and equipment being bought and at the intial funding of Amiga I am quite sure they had a 7 figure bank account.

Considering that their D&B rating had them at a $7,500 credit limit (Platinum cards are at $10-15,000 - it's not that hard to get one - I mean a BANK ISSUED VISA or MC Platinum card - not the crap that is sent in spam e-mail) it shows the lack of financial acumen we are dealing with. I also will admit among billyboy's personal things there was a Gateway Master Card credit application!
(Should I scan it and make it available?)

Looking over an American Express Gold Business card info sheet - with the OPEN (Small Business Network from AMEX) at Working Capital Accounts - there is the Business Capital Line with an unsecured line of credit of up to $100,000.

There is also a Business Capital Loan from $10,000 to $100,000 with a repayment schedule of 24 or 26 months.

And Equipment Financing to finance all types of business equipment from computers to food service equipment and more.

With a 7 figure bank account it should be relatively easy to obtain an AMEX Gold Card (Business and/or Corporate Account) - of course this would be one in the now long list of creditors - but it shows you the total lack of basic business accumen by billyboy and the rest of the roving bands of thieves at Amiga, Inc.

See criminal charges via the State of WA in the court documents. They HAVE committed criminal acts.

One reason why The World of Merlancia is now incorporated in AZ. Basically a shell corporation for any book, movie deals. The billyboy-merlancia story. I could always scan my AMEX Gold Business Card to show Sammy - but it would cost him $75 - a years card fee.

Samface in a movie? I don't see where he would play any major (or even minor) part.

Maybe he should go to the merlancia.us site and listen to the Fool on the Hill Beatle song.

Ravensdale is where he lived when I got the house pictures. For all I know - he may have been foreclosed on by now.

They maybe rising and kneeling toward Leavenworth if a Fed Attorney ever gets evidence of the 1600 occurances of mail and wire fraud.

Plus billyboy has his "Bible" - I'm sure he has been praying a lot lately.

RW, what is your major malfunction?! You really
seem to take great pleasure in other peoples mistakes,
misfortunes, ineptitude (or whatever). What do you
hope to accomplish with this crusade of yours? From
my perspective, it seems just a little bit obsesive.
------------------
Who cares what you think?

Crusade of mine? - too many people believe the lies and BS of Amiga - too many people sent in money for an unfullfilled, too many salaries were not paid, people had their insurance cancelled and had to pay out of their own pocket.

And I'm not the one suing Amiga - check out the 9 cases or so.

So it appears the people suing Amiga are more obsessive.

Sounds like another wuss, unable to deal with the concept of people facing the consequences for their actions.

"Boo-hoo. I wouldn't be in prison for murder if those evil cops hadn't searched my apartment, found my bloody surgical tools and arrested me. Or that fascist DA who summed up the evidence to a 'fixed' jury who decided I was guilty. Or that corrupt judge who sentenced me to lethal injection. It's all their fault I'm in this mess!"

Guess what, sonny?! If these clowns (Bill, Barry, and the other 'partners') had any ethics, they would have shut down the minute they didn't have the money to pay their employees, and waited until they had funding to continue, and been up front and honest with the free labor pool -er, I mean "community". But they lied and said all was well. Do other companies do this? Yes, and I hope that they get theirs, too, that their bank accounts are sapped dry and their money evenly distributed among all the hard-working people who have lost their jobs because of corrupt management such as this. Enron, Worldcom, Imclone, Tyco? Tip of the iceberg. There are tons more of them right now who are scheming to make big bucks at the _expense_ of their own employees. Employess are supposed to be your allies, the people who help you become wealthy through their _honest_ hard work and dedication, not through their exploitation.

Billy's having heart problems? Hah, the problem is he hasn't got one! How many times did this same scenario play itself out during the dotcom bubble?! How many people worked for web startups that pulled the same devious tricks?! How many of these ratbag gold-rushers are still sitting in their posh homes, living off the VC money they gave themselves as "salary"? Billy and Barry look up to these criminals, and strive to be like them. Difference is, these two dopes SUCK at running even a two-bit business, much less a four-bit one.

Garbage like you make me want to puke, with your limp-wristed whining and your weak values, your rationalization for criminal behavior. Time to move on? Not until the sword of justice comes down on the throats of the guilty. You're the one who needs to move on and stay the hell out of the way, just like France. Biatch!

Wow, that was pretty harsh. Was that fun?!
Glad you got that off your chest, dude. Feel
better now!?

Man, some people should let themselves vent
a little bit earlier - you know before they
pop a vein or something.

Nice manners. Fits well with your overall demeanor. And your criminal history.

So says the self appointed avenger.

List the names of those 9 who came running to you for help. List the names of those 9 who said keep your ugly ass outta my face.

> So it appears the people suing Amiga are more obsessive.

You got no fish in this fire. You never worked for Amiga. Never paid for a product from them you didn't get. You're a dictionary definition of the word "obsessive." So it appears you're just an ex con with nothing better to do.

So Rich, if you're so concerned about privacy, then why post all the stuff about me, my lawsuit and my bowling scores? This belated concern for privacy doesn't ring true to me. You know goddamn good and well that I asked you in person and via email not to post things about me, or Matt Fontenot, or Gordon, etc. yet you did it anyway. So why the great concern for this other guy's privacy?

I'll tell you why you're so concerned. Because you haven't managed to piss this person off yet, and are hoping for some hidden nugget of information to use in whatever twisted agenda you may have. I sincerely hope he doesn't give you anything. Maybe he'll discern your true nature, like I have, and quickly stop any further dealings with you. But, as PT Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute..

Also, the guy who died two months after getting his job at Amiga was Bob Cosby, God rest his soul. He wasn't a QA director, he was a tester like I was, as well as a good friend. Bob would not have taken any of your shit either.
