Should we really crack IBrowse 2.4???

[a-pex]

I looked at your website a1k.org
It's pretty slick.  It's also very clear that your users are not anything like the typical Amiga users here.  I see your users are actively hacking together new hardware and banning together to complete grassroots projects.  None of that happens anywhere else.

Thank you! Our community was founden at the end of 2004 with the phoenix project. I was able to bring the nice side of amiga back to many users, users that have no frusted storys in the past (AInc/MOS/OS4 and other flamewars). ;-)

A "normal" Amiga user is a sad and slow moving animal that would rather lament for years and years about the state of things.

Then we are really no normal amiga users, but we are many! :-)

Old frustrated users go, new users are coming. Take a look on our community, most of this users are returners...

I wonder how many of these 30 new users never used IBrowse before 2.4?

I do not know your perspective about the community, but there are still so many people that come back, starting again their hobby because today they have the money and so on. You have just to found this people doing community work and put them in one forum and then you will have more than 30 users with need to get a keyfile.

I am fully in agreement that it needs to be sorted out asap, and for that we need Stefan.

Ok, Stefan has no time to sort out a distribution. But can you contact him and maybe make the keyfile work for him? I only want to buy some keys. I will send you a list with names and emails and the money using paypal?

Next week I was going to buy IBrowse 2.4 (seems contrieved, but I'm _not_ kidding). Not that I'm not happy with AWeb3.5.08 (I think it's quite good and very stable), but I want to see a PPC version 3.0 made for AOS4.0; also, heard good things. So I need a key file as well, where do I send the $cash$?

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I offered to send 1500 Euros without feedback and you hope for feedback for only 1 key?  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Until now no news.  :evil: This makes me sooo angry, I think I will stop trying to get this keys.

The way it should go...

On sunday I went to the homepage of DVPlayer (http://dvplayer.amigarevolution.com/) for AOS4. I ordered my keyfile, paid with credit card and on monday evening I got my keyfile!

Simple and easy, a very good example!

[a-pex]

No news until yet...

3 days later and a full weekend without any feedback again.

Take no notice IBrowse team your doing what you can where no one else is.

Really, take a look on http://www.reg.net/, I bought some days ago my DV-Player key. Why is this not possible for IBrowse?

I say this, if those who moan about this, then why don't they do better?

I can not program, but I am a good marketing guy, I offered my help and 1500€, what can I do more???

But you are maybe right, I will STOP!!! I have my original key since many, many years, but I tried to get some keys for the users in my forum.
I tried to help the users and I got many flames and bad emails, so I will stop.  :crazy:

[a-pex]

Still no news for the community...

[a-pex]

Nearly 1 year later and it is still not possible to buy IBrowse 2.4. What a shame, there were offers enought...

[a-pex]

But we have no news regarding the actual situation?

Nice to have Google, for all who need a key and can not buy it.  :crazy:

[a-pex]

8 days, 1 month & 2 years later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Empty promises, no changes, no updates...

Oh, something has changed, I closed my order for over 30 copies...

Can not found a word for this!

[a-pex]

This is against posting guidlines and TOS I think

Why? iBrowse is a dead software...

[a-pex]

I realize it's way too late, but you could take what would be spent on those 30 copies and offer a "bounty" on what you are looking for feature-wise....

First time I made this offer was before I started this thread over 2 years ago!
At this time it was not too late and many members from the a1k forum really want to have a legal version... I never got feedback and now, most of them are no more interested, thank you to google!

I will never understand the iBrowse team, they could still sell this product, but because of their stupidness, they just lost many thousand of euros... some people still have to much money.

[a-pex]

2 years later! Many people are now using a key that was a long time available via Google search (is no more available)... No news about a legal registration, no news about a version 3 release.

I will never understand it!

[a-pex]

My intension was not to blame people not reading here, it was just to show that there are still people asking for this software, even if it is in most cases useless.

You can still make money with Amiga software, but you need a long term strategie, it is not possible to make money within a very short time.

iBrowse is still THE SOLUTION to visit Amiga forums, Aminet or other Amiga made pages on a machine like an A1200. This is the reason why there are still request for an legal key left.

Netsurf is nice, but needs a GFX card, very much RAM and a fast CPU.
