Bill McEwen still Amiga CEO?
According to statements by Ray A. Akey
of Amiga Inc. and Fleecy Moss,
Bill McEwen is still CEO of Amiga Inc.
Yesterday Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco have circulated in a news item at
MorphOS-News.de
that Gary Hare was CEO of Amiga Inc., with whom talks had already been held
(we reported).
Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco stand by their statement, see the following comments at
morphos-news.de,
ANN and
again ANN.
Carsten Schröder paraphrases this nebulous situation to the point:
"The state of the news is becoming more and more nebulous: In the meantime Fleecy Moss
and Ray A. Akey, members of AMIGA, Inc.'s management, have denied a change at the top
management level. Bill McEwen, however, hasn't piped up yet, while Genesi again confirmed
the change and are currently trying to get in touch with Gary Hare.
Conclusion: There have been various bankruptcies and corporate acquisitions of the
AMIGA mother company in the past - but I personally can't remember a situation where there was
uncertainty about the current principal of the company.
At the moment I'm regarding two scenarios explaining this situation as the most probable ones:
Scenario 1: The shareholders of AMIGA, Inc. have decided to exchange the management but not informed
them (or some of them), while the designated CEO has already had talks with Genesi.
Scenario 2: Genesi have been had. I'm regarding a deliberate false report improbable as this would
do much damage to the company's reputation."
Here the statement of Amiga Inc's Ray A. Akey:
"Bill McEwen is currently the CEO of Amiga and the fact that there is no PR
to the contrary about this on our website means that there is no news.
Anyone describing the appointment of a new CEO as "old news" is obviously
posting information for their own motives and reasons since "old news"
requires it to be "new news" before it can be "old news" and since Amiga
Inc hasn't posted such "new news" then the motives of the person describing
it as "old news" while simultaneously putting this new news into the world
have to be questioned."
Here the statement of Fleecy Moss:
"Has Amiga Inc changed CEO?"
Fleecy Moss: As of this moment Bill McEwen is the CEO of Amiga and if a new CEO
was to be brought in, it would be because of Amiga expanding as a company
and Bill needing to concentrate on being Chairman and President - currently
he is CEO as well and three top jobs in a company that is attracting the
attention we are is at least one job too many.
Any CEO to be brought in would be as part of the team and would be totally
in sync with the current strategic direction of the company. If someone is
posting information to the contrary then it can only be for ulterior motives.

Official release from YAM v2.4
DESCRIPTION
YAM (Yet Another Mailer) lets you send and receive electronic mail
over the Internet and maintain archives of messages in your computer.
The idea came to Marcel Beck in 1995 when he first tried using email:
the programmes available at the time were either powerful but
complicated to configure, or else used a too limiting graphical
interface. The goal, therefore, was to program a cross between
AdMail and AirMail, with a few ideas from Pegasus Mail.
YAM made its first public appearance in early 1996 under the
"mailware" concept. The unexpectedly enthusiastic response
from the public led to a steady development of YAM that reached
its finest hour in version 1.3.5, the last incarnation in the
"classic" series. By then, YAM had turned into one of the most
popular Amiga programmes ever, and won Marcel the appreciation
and several awards from the Amiga community thanks to its
simplicity and ease of use.
Unwilling to stop at that point, Marcel spent almost two years
developing YAM2. In the summer of 1999, a greatly improved YAM
set some of the standards that would be lately imitated by other
popular Internet applications. In November 2000, Marcel finally
gave up out of lack of time and motivation, but was yet kind enough
to release the "final" YAM 2.2 together with its sources under the
GNU General Public License. On this day and age, Marcel Beck is
still fondly remembered by many as one of a selected few who made
a difference on the Amiga.
Today, after YAM 2.3 and 2.3p1 fixed some of the most outstanding
problems in the original sources and almost 18 months of hard work
have been spent, the YAM Open Source team is proud to make the legend
continue with YAM 2.4, the most powerful Amiga mailer to date.
NEW FEATURES
- Hierarchical folder list - folders can now be arranged into
groups, and nested at the user's discretion
- SMTP & POP3 TLS1/SSL3 support for stunnel servers, using
AmiSSL.library
- Email address cache, making it possible to "remember" the last
N used recipients if they don't appear in the address book
- More powerful recipient string gadgets, resolving aliases,
real names and email addresses "on the fly" as they are found
in the address book or the email cache
- Optional pop-up menus in the folder & message lists
- Automatic codepage detection and translation, specially meant
for cyrillic users.
- Reworked status bar
- Automatically finds the suitable mailing list support settings
- Extended support for mailto: links
- Search function in the Write window
- Customizable size format and localized unit display
- Individual appicon stats for folders, with an user-definable label
- New hidden option "JumpToIncoming"
- Deleting a block of text with RAmiga-Del automatically inserts a "[...]" marker
- Built-in mouse wheel support
- New "marked" status
- "application/pdf" is now in the built-in list of MIME types
- Extended documentation
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
- AmigaOS V39+, MC68020+, MUI3.8+ and the latest BetterString,
NList, NListtree, TextEditor & Toolbar classes (included)
