You said: "And the stuff with contracts being different. What the hell is with that? Is AmigaInc just incompetent or what? I think incompetence lost them the injunction more than anything else."

The fact that Amiga Inc has produced nothing but:
1. Specifications for what a new Amiga should be wrt Hardware.

2. Ill will by promising to sell people T-Shirts (why is a Computer Co. doing this
first???).

3. Worthless (for the most part) Coupons for the new OS (with no idea as to when it
would ever be ready for hardware, which no one was even producing at the time).

4. Radio-silence about just what their plans were.

5. Futile efforts to control just who could be licensed to make Amiga Hardware (with
requirements that only kept out people that really wanted Amiga to succeed and
did nothing to attract OEMs that could actually do the work).

6. Heavy breathing while Haage & Partner churned out OS3.5 and 3.9 which is what
Amiga Inc should have been doing.

7. Farts in their chairs while Eyetech struggled to manufacture AmigaOne hardware
(I have one by the way, legally recognized by Amiga Inc or not).

8. Moaning noises after jumping into bed with Microsoft (and actually producing
some sort of product, just not Amiga hardware or software that could actually be
used by anyone that owned an Amiga or AmigaOne.)

9. Stone-cold silence as Hyperion was gracefully allowed to produce OS4 with nary
an Amiga employee having to do any coding at all ("We'll just use the Courts to
take it from them once they've produced an OS that actually works, heh heh").

In short, just how incompetent does a company have to be in order for it to be obvious to you that such a question really was answered a long time ago??
