Very disappointed in Grasshopper LLC and Pagestream.

@ matt3k,

Wow. I just finished a reply to you over at AW.net and you've posted the exact same thing here now, too!  I bet it's over at ANN, too!

Well, here's the quoted reply I gave to your message over at AW.net. When one considers what you were told by Grasshopper sales versus what you have concluded based on that, one can't help but notice a disconnect.

@painter & Matt3K

Painter: same here. I ordered the OS4 PPC version within a few days of its original announcement. Since I already owned the 68k version anyway, I eventually called up Grasshopper sales, and explained that I wanted to forget the 4.1 PPC and go direct to a 5.x PPC/OS4 version.

No problem! Dan let me pay the tiny price difference for the upgrade to 5.x from 4.1. Since I already had the "cross-grade" to PPC paid for, that's all there was to it..


Matt3K: You've taken some rather neutral statements and managed to inflate them with a lot of implication. After something like 15 years of business with Deron, I dare say the implications were not intended by Grasshopper, but a misinterpretation on your part.

Considering what a tiny market _EITHER_ of our platforms is, we can be happy Deron bothers at all for either of us. And, BTW, you _SHOULD_ subscribe to the email list. You'd be aware how close the MorphOS version is to completion if you were reading there. If a last minute glitch changed the expected release date, it's no surprise that sales thought it was arleady posted for download, when in fact, it wasn't really ready yet.

@joannak:

Oh, OK, make it four sites. When would matt3k ever have time to use PgS. anyway? He's too busy spamming the forums.  

Really, it does sound strange that he can't make 4.1 68k run on his Peg. Other Peg/MOS users post in the Pagestream mail list, and they're using the 68k version.
