I have exchanged a few e-mails with Michael Dennison about Minux. Although I have not really learnt anything new, I feel that I should share these e-mails with you. I am not endorsing anything Michael has said or claimed, because there are numerous questions about the respectability of his company, but I feel it would not be fair for me to completely ignore what he has said. |
Here is the first e-mail:

This was my reply:
From : | Heath Anderson |
To : | "Michael Dennison" |
Date : | Sat, 23 Sep 2000 13:15:16 -0700 (PDT) |
Subject : | Re: Minux |
I have a few questions
for you: How long have you been developing your game? What kind of game is
it? Who is on your development team? Do you have a title for the game yet?
Who exactly are you? Could you give me some background information on your
company? Others have tricked the Jaguar community into believing false
statements, how do we know that you are for real? If you don't feel comfortable answering all of these questions right now, at least tell me what you can. |
His response:

That was the last e-mail I received from him to date, but here is a recent post of his on JI2:

I have got a lot of questions about what happened to Minux; on my new page
I will go into dept of what happened. Until then this is what I can say about
my new page. Making WebPages is harder then most people think, meaning, that
people as a whole never plan for pages. The hobbyist of America just sits
down and code, I am much different however. I am still working on an algorithm
for my page, and it will be complete sometime around Christmas. Until then
please e-mail me with any question. By the way, I will post a lot of interviews
with people form the Atari Jaguar community on my eNews letter. Stay tuned
for fun and games!
Sincerely,
Michael Dennison
