If you had read an earlier mail by me on this subject you would see that I agree that this "rule" - in the sense of products and services - is valid. You would also see that I dont believe it is valid in the case of using the name Amiga on such things as websites etc where nothing is being promoted/sold as this is just creating a blanket over the Amiga (oops, perhaps Im not even allowed to write the word!! :( ) which will if it continues swallow us whole.
As it now stands I "apparently" am not allowed to have the word or picture A***a on my website?? BULL!
Go on. Sue me. You'll get about £5000 dept from me.
