I've read this thread with interest. I've come to three conclusions:
1. I never want to moderate any Amiga forum ever, at any time. That job is pretty thankless. Plus I'd be awful at it.
2. As an X1000 owner I was disappointed that I'd have to pay more USD for the Final Update. It was my original understanding that I'd get all of my 4.1 updates free, as well as 4.2 when it came out. I logically assumed I was done paying for OS4 until after 4.2. I now realize I was only promised 4.2 free. With the long delay in getting 4.2, 4.1 FE was released, and I was never promised anything about that since it didn't exist, even as a concept, when I bought the X1000. So I'm ok...I don't feel any promise was broken,
3. I'm going to support AmiStore (did today for 6 purchases) and buy FE as well...to support the people that are making the X1000 a fun hobby. I love the machine, and the only alternative I have is to NOT support them, to effectively abandon the developers that have made my (computing) life a lot more fun. Hell, I'm going to buy LibreOffice too.
I'm still not sure this thread isn't FUD, but assuming it is not...I think the idea of supporting the few developers left may help keep them, or spawn new ones. That is not a bad thing.
