@thread,

I read most of the threads on other sites about AF and the whining, cheap, immature PC users (people in those threads, not alx) that think just because the AmigaOS is over 20 years old now, it should be available for free.  I totally disagree with the statement that AF is not worth the price for the couple of games it includes.  It has a lot more to offer than that, specially for those that really appreciate the history of the Amiga and the few utilities, such as Amiga Explorer that make using a real Amiga with a PC, or emulated Amiga much easier.  I have no affiliation with Colanto, but greatly appreciate their work and products that they continue to support and offer.  They paid for their license and are entitled to make a profit off their investment.  I also don't know why they are blamed for AmigaOS not being released as freeware, as I am sure that can only be done by Amiga Inc.

If users don't think AF is worth the money, let them buy a real Amiga and transfer the ROM legally.

(Piracy very sore subject for me, can you tell?)
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
