A-EON Technology Acquires Personal Paint

[IanP]

A-EON seem to have their fingers in a lot of pies, hardware development, Amiga community websites and now application development. I wonder if they'll be contracting out future software development or doing it in-house, I suspect the former.

@AmigaDave my earlier post was intended to be neutral.

I can see valid reasons for removing the free version of Personal Paint from Aminet. They have invested in developing a new version (with similar version number i.e. a point release update) and want people to consider purchasing that new version, it makes sense to bring traffic to their own website for people wanting a copy of Personal Paint. It makes it clear that it is now actively developed so the new and any future versions are no longer to be freely distributed but instead should be purchased.
