wow, I just don't understand the Cloanto hate AT ALL!!!

I have given my hard earned money to purchase Amiga Forever and am a happy costumer. It is a mature product that updates files, comes with historic videos, pictures etc. and various Amiga configurations that I can try all or some. It's not "just" roms.

and I get treated very respectfully. what the heck is wrong with some people??


Cloanto is a very good company. I have bought both Personal Paint and two versions of Amiga Forever from them. Solid products, well worth supporting! :)
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

You know that you are the dubbed king of keeping "the 'they that shall not be named' threads" on the front page, right?

Ok I would support your on that part of it, if the Roms and Workbench where not legally for sale any where then I would support and understand you position. Simple fact they are.


What I don't like is the part where they (or their minions) prevent updated ROM images from being distributed, or prevent people from selling updated kickstart chips (like Cosmos want to do), and I also question their legal rights to distribute modified and updated ROM images themselves (the 3.X) kickstart.

As for AmigaForever, the value of that package is really not in the kickstarts and OS images, but in all the extras, videos etc. I never used any of the software on those DVDs/CDs.

Franko where is this big plan of yours that's supposedly going on behind the scenes? :confused:

Sorry nicholas - you don't own Commodore or Amiga. Are you really that arrogant?



Wrong, I do own Commodore Amiga.

Though for those whose machines refuse to boot anymore it is scandalous to expect them to pay for another copy of the ROM they already own.


The world is a mean, nasty place innit? People in that situation could still get a chip reader and dump the rom, which would probably cost them more than AF + ROMS would cost.

Perhaps said people should save their money and buy some cement to eat so they can harden the f*** up.

Amigans have always been known as tight arses. Make something for them and they'll either bitch that its too expensive or just copy it.

Unlike certain other companies with similar names to ours we will only make product announcements when our products are ready to ship.

Crazy eh? :)

Have to agree.  I have bought several products from cloanto and they are a great company all round.
 
Franko has some master plan?  is that to annoy as many people as possible.
 
If I am 100% honest I don't see Franko's participation on Amiga.org as beneficial in anyway shape or form.

Crap, I did it wrong.  I produced and shipped a product but forgot to make an announcement, I sold my first A200 a few days ago!



I guess this means I've matched C=USA for sales, and more than beaten them in the profit department!

If you really want the Kickstart to be free and open you should support the Kickstart Replacement effort, like Cloanto have. http://www.power2people.org/projects/profile/6

Do you intend to support Amiga shows, put money towards bounty's and help further develop Amiga emulation? With money Cloanto raise that is what they do. You may not think your doing anything wrong and provide a service that a lot of other people already provide, but I like Amiga Forever and its program and hope it continues to be developed, your efforts only hurt them efforts by cloanto.


Why would I support Amiga Shows, there hasn't been in my neck of the woods for at least 15 years ???

Why would I support Amiga Emulation I don't use it and never will ???

You may like Amiga Forever but to me it's a program for PCs and I have no interest in PCs whatsoever, I've got nothing against Cloanto I bought and paid for PPaint a long, long time ago and I've even bought Amiga Forever about 2 years back when I was considering actually buying a PC until I came to my senses... :)

Don't understand why you would think I personally would support such things, obviously you have never actually read any of my posts before or you would have known this by now... :)

As for supporting things I did say in a thread quite a while back that I would be willing to support the NatAmi project but it seems that the NatAmi team did not need financial support... :)

On the question of support why do you not help to support Amiga.org yourself by paying for a membership, I mean you use it often enough to post your views so the least you could do is help support them... ;)

Nothing "supposed" about it...

For several days now there has been a hell of a lot going on behind the scenes and it's not good strategy to release your battle plans to the enemy is it... :)
