What is sad about Amiga

I made a buck writing some code for PalmOS. I'll never make a dollar writing something for AOS.

Unlike PalmOS, AmigaOS is no longer a commercial product, hence any code you write for the Amiga is written for the love of it and to benefit the community, nothing else.

Whats really sad about the Amiga is that there are community members still trying to milk money from it even though the teet dried up long ago, just like Amiga Inc.


NB. My definition of a commercial product may differ from yours. In order for something to be a commercial product, it must be availiable for purchase commercially.

I'd pay a lot for Firefox 2 (or almost any version of Mozilla) for Amiga/CyberStormPPC w/CyberVision 8mb graphics, but I know that it is only a dream that will never come true.

 :cry:

Why should you pay for Firefox when nobody else does?

I think he's talking about paying someone to port it to AmigaOS.

And, no, the dream will unfortunately never come true for classic Amigas.  Not even for those equipped with PPC accels.

Being open source, the code is availiable for someone to have a go at porting it right now. Instead, as the OP kindly pointed out, doing so wouldn't generate any money, hence nobody in the community is interested.
