Yeah - as everybody can read here:
Amiga Documents 2.0.9

"...
Other than some bug fixes and minor improvements to DataTypes (an Amiga file processing mechanism) and drivers, Amiga OS 3.1, released in 1994 to run on Motorola 68K CPUs, was largely unchanged since the 1992 release of the previous 3.0 version. Amiga still had no support for current hardware, no Java, and no modern browser or multimedia capability. Mr. Bill McEwen knew this well and promptly declared the Amiga Classic (i.e. the 3.x operating system) to be "dead", introducing a new "Amiga" operating system that substantially was a licensed and repackaged Elate operating system by Tao Group Ltd (UK).

I'm lucky enough to be in the Seattle area these days, so I decided today to pay a visit to Amiga Inc's office in Snoqualmie. I have discovered that they don't have an office there anymore, and that another company has taken their ex-office:

http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff261/Varthall/Amiga%20Inc%20ex-office%20-%2014%20Feb%202010/

I have seen no sign of Amiga anywhere, and being Sunday morning there was no-one there to ask any information, but at least I could take photos freely. At this point I really wonder if they have any office at all.


And PLS, the new tenant seems to be legit as a land surveyor:

Why would Procom be interested in buying parts of Amiga Inc?


The better question IMHO is how much did Ryszard Krauze get paid as a board member of Hakia and Amiga after he had Prokom spend all that money on that 2.3 percent ownership stake. And how much did that money help payroll and expense account cashflow for other management like Bill McEwen.

@Dandy

No one is saying fraud is a good thing Dandy as was pointed out to you many, many times.

AMIGA themselves have stated publicly that they have made a mistake and have tried to at least fix it. A lot of people including myself DID get at least a T-Shirt. I know you did not and therefore you are jaded by this and therefore you hate the company and will continue to slander, put down, bag, bury their name which is not productive for you or anyone else that would like to have something from AMIGA in the future.

As for the personal attack and calling me a fraud etc I really don't care what you suspect of me!
I have said I don't approve of fraud, are you having trouble understanding me or do you have some sort of disorder where I need to spell it out for you further because I will say it again, in plain English, I do not support it so you can rest at ease and stop jumping to your "suspicions" does this help you now or are you in for a personal slanging match, cause it looks like that's what you're aiming for here bub.

You call me a fanboy and try to put me down and say I am all for fraud which i have also stated is not the case therefore, clearly, I don't think you have the capacity to understand what I am saying so any further comment to you is really the irrelevant thing here as you lack this capacity.

If you don't hate AMIGA then maybe you can accept the public announcement they made trying to fix the wrong they had done to the community and people they have taken money from. Maybe you should do some more research. I understand you're upset, you missed out. That's a shame but you're not going to make it any better by trying to stop the company from trading as there will be nothing to give you.
Mistakes are made Dandy, it's not just AMIGA INc that have made them.

I don't want AMIGA dead, you do. That's the difference. I am not saying fraud is right or nice but untill there is a company to write your wrong, you will never have that issue fixed.

It's fine for you to hate AMIGA for it, most of us do not hate AMIGA for it and hope for a better future. You, do not. That does not make me a fanboy, or a fraudulent person. If you have never done wrong by anyone in your life, I call you a liar. Unless you are Jesus, you too have committed fraud, stole, or hurt someone some time, no matter how small it is.

Perhaps you need to look at forgiveness instead or whatever you want to call it because AMIGA is not going to pay any debts, or make any money or make any new products if it can't trade. There's your answer, if you don't get that, man, I don't know what you can "get".

[sarcasm on]

Yeah - as everybody can read here:
Amiga Documents 2.0.9




Oh, on your whole who did what on the OS in your so quoted documents I read and you laughed at I found this....




AmigaOS 4 and Hyperion



Between October [131] and November [132] 2001, Belgian company Hyperion VOF (later transformed into Hyperion Entertainment CVBA), consisting of the two partners Mr. Ben Hermans and Mr. Evert Carton, entered into an agreement with Amiga Washington to port the "Classic" Amiga OS 3.x from the current 68K CPU (as in the original 1985 Amiga) to the increasingly popular PowerPC CPU, which was already used in some newer Amiga expansion boards and in computers by Apple. Mr. Ben Hermans and Mr. Evert Carton both had other full-time jobs (Mr. Ben Hermans as an attorney), and would subcontract the work to external programmers, most notably the Frieden brothers in Germany.

I believe that answers your silly laughter. Someone had to hire them to port the OS
I believe that was AMIGA Inc, as I stated. I never said they wrote it rofl
It was instigated to be further developed by them, how can you not read this? did I not say this already?

I never said I'd pay lot's of $ to stop people from crying I said I'd pay $2 to you to make you stop lol. This is painful lol
Your examples of poor people spending their last $2 on AMIGA ending up or being on welfare because of this situation was laughable.



What the??????

"Obviously you ARE twisted, Bübchen"

You need to resort to this to start a slanging match bub, which I am not willing to do.
This was your idea form your very first reply to me. Where is your proof on me causing you or anyone else here fraud?

I don't think I need to say anything more I have said that I do not agree with fraud, perhaps you are missing this text??? or read differently but, if you must know I am not perfect. Are you saying you are?

For me, it is obvious that the money was used for the operation of the company. Equally obvious is it that Penttis's friend was with and invested in the company and chose this particular method.
Otherwise, no major issues for me more than you can see how the operation paid for at the time.

What worries me,is if the Amiga.com site being sold,and used as a forum for spannish speaking girls,discussing makeup and stuff. It would be hillarious at first,but in the end,very sad for us.

Or even worse...A site selling sextoys to girls.......

Agreed, that would make it more laughable than it already is as I see a joke company.
what hope do Hyperion have trading under that guise!

What worries me is that alll Hyperions hard work and effort, and the only real good out of this really badly run company is going to get burried by complete closure.
I for one would be happy to see Hyperion buy the name and keep going but complete closure?

I don't see how this makes AMIGA or anyone affiliated with it prosper!!

I just don't understand some people here.

Well the only good thing Amiga inc did was outsourcing the development of OS4 to Hyperion for all the rest Amiga inc was a joke and a scam.

And for trade, Amiga inc had nothing to trade that people actually need or wanted.
I'm glad we finally got rid of Amiga inc and it's Kent Arena and coupon scams, from my opinion they only abused the Amiga name.

Maybe Amiga inc had good intentions who knows, but one thing is for sure and that is a total lack of vision.

I kind of agree with all of that. I don't think it started off as a scam(intended to), or I, dare I say we? would never have got anything from it, including OS4.

It may have ended up as seeming as a scam because of the such crappy miss-managed decisions but we did get OS4 developed, so maybe not an entire scam or we would never have got anything.

I certainly do agree with it was the one good thing that did come from it, however, I hope that it does put out, produce more of that good thing in the future and no more bad things if it can ever get past all the bad stuff.

It certainly needs some better guidance or management change if there is anything left to guide. This may be it's complete death.

AMGA were looking at ways to bring out a new OS. They enlisted / agreed for Hyperion to do the job, and payed for it, to be done. If it wasn't to be Hyperion, they would have gone elsewhere. They also looked at Haag&Partner but I believe they weren't very happy with OS9 job, or the terms at the time. There was talk of QNX and Linux and other things as well.

Hyperion did not offer to do it for free.

This is the fact.

There was a court case over it with time frames not being met and not enough money etc...

Hyperion need the 'www.amiga.com' domain. All further negative impacts from Amiga Inc's demise can be mitigated. An Amiga IP holder without AmigaOS or AmigaOne brand names (Hyperion already own them) isn't worth a lot! Only the website has any value!

What should they use it for? They don't communicate with the community (atm.) and they can't manage to make a simple webpage for a-eon........

There was talk of QNX and Linux and other things as well.


That was in the Gateway/Jim Collas days, before they got cold feet and licensed the IP to A Inc. I remember the Collas/QNX days as being the last time I was truly excited about Amiga.

@SHADES

I must correct you here: Amiga never paid Hyperion anything to support development of AmigaOS 4.

Not a penny of the voucher schemes was ever paid out to Hyperion or the AmigaOS developers.

Various entities paid a minor and insufficient amount to gain access to AmigaOS 4.0. These did NOT include any incarnation of Amiga Inc (Itec, Tachyon LLC).

The original 2001 agreement was not signed by Bill McEwen but by Fleecy Moss.

All of this is public record from the court documents.
