Yep! I can only confirm what has been said before: iFusion
has to be the biggest single piece of crap ever released
for the Amiga! While it is true that users were warned that
the "initial" release would lack features, there actually never
was to be an improved version! Hey, you've got neither sound
nor SCSI-support, it's unstable, doesn't support Picasso96...

The list of bugs and non-existant features is endless.

Which makes me wonder: in the thread about weirdo Brits I read
about some interesting US lawsuits; why couldn't some American
iFusion-"users" sue Microcode/Drew for selling an overpriced non-working
product?
Hey, they could even claim that they've been suffering from depressions
ever since :-D

CU,

Alex

GadgetMaster...

Thanks for the kind, kind plug.

But, you know, you should keep your comment posters in check... Jim Drew actually sent an e-mail threatening legal action against myself when my
comment posters attacked him for missing the iFusion Windows deadline (four months ago).  Aw heck... what am I saying... keep it up.

I'll drop you a link when I get my site functioning again.  I hate to have your visitors see it for the first time with large chuncks missing from it.

Nah, I'm not the owner of virtual programming.  The news post this is a reply too is me (emaculation.com) e-mailing Virtual Programming about why they are no longer selling any verson of iFusion (which they own outright) and getting the reply that is quoted.

Blittersoft bought iFusion then Virtual Programming bought Blittersoft.  But Virtual Programming is not sellign any of the Blittersoft properties right now.  And they are not making any of the iFusion patches available.  It is odd.  As I indicated on the site, it would be dirt cheap for them to sell it.

-

Drew promised a Windows version of iFusion for MacWorld Tokyo... and then when he did not deliver my forum users/comment posters when nuts.  He said that the "financial backers" of the project would sue me becauseof the posters.  We all had a good laugh at that.

-

And I swear that my site does not suck as much as it looks right now!  I hate to get a plug at a great site when I look like crap is all.

MacOS emulation in OS 4?
« Reply #3 on: August 02, 2002, 03:31:41 PM »
Hmm.. If it would be technically feasible, an emulator like the "Classic" emulation in OS X, where the "other OS" (in this case MacOS 9.2.2) is booted and then hidden,  and apps open on the desktop as were they native apps, would make all the current MacOS classic and Carbon apps available for OS 4.

But i guess more is needed than some sourcecode (Basilisk II?) and a couple of skilled programmers.

But it would be an eeevil feature dont you agree?

Maybe the only way to get some of Adobes apps to the Amiga before the fabled AmigaOS5.0...

Well... More coarsely ground guatemala jouice for me..

Jim Drew sueing us for complaining about him not delivering what he got paid for? Great one that! :-D

Whatever next? Maybe he will release an update taht actually removes the working bits alltogether?
Suits me, so I can still use the DVD cover as a wedge to keep my office door from slamming shut... :lol:
