Hardly worth a news item, However, in an Email to the webmaster of Amigaworld, Garry has stated that he left Amiga Inc some months ago.

Like a rat off a sinking ship.

Or his Job was done or he was pushed.

I wonder how much you'd get from this rare collector's item... :-)

I wonder - is there someone still working at Amiga Inc, or he was the last one and turned the lights off?

Some people say that everyone is bi.

I don't subscribe to that theory myself, but maybe they are right and we are all repressed.

read below..insert "Garry Hare" for "Milton"... ahahahahahhaha.. Office Space is a great movie..


Bob Slydell: Yeah, we can't actually find a record of him being a current employee here.
Bob Porter: I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that he was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him, but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck.
Bob Slydell: So we just went a ahead and fixed the glitch.
Bill Lumbergh: Great.
Dom Portwood: So um, Milton has been let go?
Bob Slydell: Well just a second there, professor. We uh, we fixed the *glitch*. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it will just work itself out naturally.
Bob Porter: We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem solved from your end.

AInc per se might not be worth pissing on if on fire, but is it hardly worth a news item that the CEO and chairman of the company that's killing AmigaOS has resigned (or been fired, or whatever), that he (not the company) announced this by sending an e-mail months after it happened to a forum webmaster, and that it is more unclear than ever who's in charge of said blocking company?

Is it embarrassing to some, who proclaimed Hare's "new" leadership as promising, wise and benevolent, with all those things "we know but can't mention *wink* [dancingbanana]" right around the corner, that he now is gone, just like that, while nothing whatsoever that's relevant to "the community" has improved compared to before he took over? Does this mean it's now "Fanatically Correct" even for the (former) AInc fans to publicly state that the Q&As, interviews and whatnot actually were a load of implausible crap, solely meant to appease the more gullible believers?

AInc might be a sunken ship on the bottom of the Mariana Trench, but whoever is captain on that ship still rules what will happen with AmigaOS, unfortunately. Is there a new captain? Does he give a crap other than saving some wreckage for his VC masters? Is the new captain insane with regards to AmigaOS, too?

(Nah, all is well! Let's all post more dancing bananas in response to more news items about everchanging vague plans for inexistent underpowered overpriced hardware for a saturated artificial market of religious fanatics instead!) :P

I'd say that his job was done. The venture capitalists put him in charge after they lost confidence in McEwen and after some various buying/selling/setting up new companies/rebuying old companies KMOS became Amiga Inc.

I'd say he was given the job to sort out the mess and get the company ship-shape again. The Amiga Inc of today is one that we can assume that Bill McEwan & Barry Moss don't own (Amiga Inc was sold to KMOS), therefore there is no reason the venture capitalists will have appointed either of them to run the company given the trouble they had last time.

Why Amiga Inc has no real address, keeps itself and its staff so secret, and hasn't made any effort to entice developers are still questions that might have interesting answers....

It's almost as if they're almost pretending to run a business. My theory is that the venture capitalists who own and run Amiga Inc have appointed nobody new and just "parked" the company on their IP asset shelf. Saying that, there's probably a part-time caretaker to keep an eye on things given that they haven't (yet) managed to park all of Amiga Inc's devolved actitivies (i.e. OS4).

Does this mean KMOS sold Amiga Inc?
