Regarding pricing policy of "OS4.1.7"

Is that you, Franko? :rofl:

maybe TMHG does not really care about any Amiga style OS and hopes to drive everyone away?

Maybe TMHG is actually Bill McEwen? Sorry, I have nothing profound to add to this thread, AmigaDave already said it.

We classic users saw this as our spiritual home only to see it invaded by rabid os 4 users who already have their own forums, now you are telling us to go from here!

I dunno. I've used both, appreciate both... what I don't appreciate are when people turn every innocuous thread into a red v. blue slugfest. Most of the posts by OS4 users seem more like this:



and less like this:



But maybe that's just my IMHO.

And I must say that it's especially rewarding when people like "Oldsmobile_Mike" join in on the mob.

Bitch, bitch, whine, snip.  Thanks, you just made up my mind for me to buy a copy of 4.1 FE when it's available.  I don't have enough time to support nearly all of my hobbies (because sorry, I have a life outside of the Internet), but I believe in supporting the developers.  Bye!

get yourself a X1000 for it as well while you are in this charity mode, so you'll actually have some *use* for it

How about donating me one of yours, since obviously they have you so frothing at the mouth you can't bear to look at them?

Do people really care that much about "second hand retail value" of a thing?  When you buy a phone, or a t-shirt, or a TV, or... anything, really... except for maybe a car or a house... do you care how much money you can get for it after it's exhausted it's usefulness to you?  Or do you care more about the features and what it offers you, and the enjoyment you might get out of owning it?  If you buy an iPhone and then later switch to Android, do you continue to berate the old phone every chance you get, years down the road?  Meh.  Just ruminating, since I really don't understand it.  Go have fun with what you like, but don't berate others for their choices.  Life is too short for all of this mess.

With all your comments about "refer to post #1", I went back and read it again. Were you actually asking a question with that post, or as someone else pointed out, just being a "frothing ranter"? (I think that's my new favorite term of the week, BTW)  

You might want to refer back to this politely worded post. You get more flies with honey than with vinegar, after all. :rolleyes:

You actually *blame me* for ending up being a somewhat disgruntled customer, because of 1) and 2) above?

No, I blame you for your vitriolic and offensive ranting in every thread possible, turning off users in droves, when you probably could've resolved all of this by polite discussion via PM with people who actually have some say over how this software is licensed and sold.  How many hours have you spent on forum posting to promote your opinion?  I would calculate that into however much you claim to have spent, factoring for depreciation, clearly your time is not worth very much if you have so much of it free to waste on this.  :laughing:

1) what cost are there ?

Developers don't need to eat?  Pay rent?
