I remember buying Deluxe Paint 5 only to find Deluxe Paint 4 AGA's
manual had been replaced by a naff AmigaGuide file or something.
Doesn't make reading it very easy. Disk based manuals should be HTML
at the very least so you can view pictures of the menus etc. that the
chapter is covering.

I'd like to get into programming for the Amiga too. I haven't
got a clue about the system or AREXX but one day I took would like to
experiment with Storm-C or equivalent.

I'd pay highly for a rare book - disk based manuals are a pain in the
assembly.

Just for the record...

current price is $91 with 6 bids and an opening bid of $80 with just a little more than a full day to go and the counter has broken 600!

...not bad considering those who weren't sure an Amiga book could be worth much.

; )

...going, going?????

Anyone, anyone???

Price is at $182.50 with a about an hour and a half to go in the auction for the Guru book!!!

I guess the speculation that started this thread has been answered by the marketplace.

I'm glad to see there are still Amigans out there who are aware of products like these that, while released several years ago now, are still valid and useful resources.

Thanks to everyone for their interest in my auction(s) and please keep an eye on my "about me" page to see more hardware listings go up this week.

My listings can be found here.

Sincerely,

subtle hint acknowledged...

; )

At the risk of annoyance I'll mention the subsequent auctions I'm hoping to put up as I do.

When I've settled up and shipped to everyone I'll drop a bit in the bucket for ya.

...publicity is much appreciated!!!
