This comes as no surprise, really, as IOSpirit announced they were ending development of their Amiga stuff quite a while ago. I can understand that it's not financially viable to maintain support for Amiga products in the sales system restructuring.

However, even though development stopped long ago, it's always sad to see products disappear from the market. Many of our software staples (Miami, AmiTCP, etc) haven't been updated in ages, nor have they been available to buy. It's sad to see IOSpirit joining that list of Unavailable Excellent Products - fxScan is the best scanning software I have ever used on any platform. If you haven't bought it and if there's even a remote chance you might want to get into scanning on your Amiga, pick it up now.

I hope that IOSpirit might be open to the possibility of releasing their Amiga stuff as freeware, open source, or licensing someone else to carry on sales. I wish them the best with their Mac software.
