I don't think that anyone has said that. The relationship between a
distributer and his suppliers can be a difficult one, and I recently
was involved in resolving some difficulties between two moderately
sized (say �250,000 sized) companies, who fell out over a liquidation
"detail"
Chris has worked very hard to keep some products available for a very
small market, and he has done a lot to support those products beyond
the call of duty. In actual fact, it is not my/our concern if
anyone's toes got trod on (outwith the NC3 users) in the making and
release of NC3. I don't go a pick holes in Yamaha's import
restrictions every time I drive my bike, and I don't worry about which
woodcrafter didn't get paid when I play my spruce-topped classical
guitar.
So, on you go. Let's see what difference you can make by saying
"Ooooh, Mr Wiles is a bad man". Fuck all. None. He's supporting us,
or not supporting us, for nothing and he's probably selling on
NC/Genesis for someone else to maintain/bin once he gets out of Uni
to concentrate on whatever new direction his studies take him in. If
he continues to support the Amiga market, that would be all well and
good, but to be honest the number of cash-wielding users is small, and
sadly the number of pirates is still proportionally high. The PC
market has more pirates (oh yes!), but a user-base the size of planet
Earth.
Really. What difference does it make? You're trying to use this list
as a "Look at this evil guy. Meet up at his castle, and bring a
pitchfork" way of solving a non-existant problem.
