Damn, I was expecting this, but hoping I would be wrong. In my opinion, Amiga Inc now thinks it might loose the legal battle with Hyperion, so they are planning for the worst - either ceasing to be a business, or else going into hibernation (not that we'll notice much difference if that happens). _________________

I wonder how long until McEwen resigns?
Surely he must have had enough by now?

you make it sound like he is the one calling the shots.
he has said himself that he was asked to be acting VP. he probably didnt want anything to do with this messed up community/company/delete as appropriate, but needed the money. _________________

I really don't understand how you & a few others can be so happy about it, to post dancing bananas and the like. That seems the sort of thing that Seehund (or blue trolls *) would do, IMHO.

I didn't mean it that way. I meant he's had enough of being 'jerked around' -- if that is indeed what is happening.
One person can only stand so much abuse, regardless of the money. Personal integrity, sanity, effect on family, etc... |

I feel for the guy in some ways, clearly he is being pushed from above to do what he is doing, and ending up with egg on his face.
If I was Bill, i'd quit and just forget about it all.

Amiga has been known for scams, they've been exposed... it's better then keep in lurk mode, scamming more and more people _________________

I'm shocked, amazed, stunned, startled, flabbergasted, astonished, dumbstruck, awestruck, staggered, speechless, baffled, bewildered, bowled over, blown away and knocked for 6.

| Hmm, too bad.
I guess the city of Kent didn't accept the final offer of 200000 coupons that could later be exchanged for T-Shirts.
I'm so sorry.. Really.
