Why don't we get an App store?

How about a one stop shop for Amiga software? It might encourage people to write software if they can sell it for a few bucks.

I think he means: Downloads it and starts the installation process.

I was thinking something that would be a one stop shop with reviews and demos. If I did it I wouldn't do it to make a profit instead it would be to recapture some old users.

If you want free stuff go to aminet, if you want more polished stuff have an Amiga App store.

I remember when Gateway said we're not doing anymore Amiga development we're going Linux. I was a fencesitter on the idea. Except for Deluxe Paint there wasn't any function that couldn't be replaced acceptably by a PC. This was when you could only afford one system.

Nowadays you don't have to invest all your resources into one system. People with a laptop go and buy a netbook because they want something smaller. People with a games rig go and spend another $500 on a console.

Because we're now vying for control of someones 2nd, 3rd or more likely 3rd or 4th system the market is lot more promising.

If you're bitter about Amiga possibly because of time & money invested I suggest you take some time off. It lets you reassess what you like about Amiga.
