OS3 for me too... was only slightly interested in OS4/MOS/AROS but the interest is waining.... Bounties for OS3.x apps and ports of software and games would be appreciated I think.

Well you shouldn't pirate anything just because it doesn't fall within your budget -that's like saying "I can't afford that car, so I will steal it instead". However, I see your point. For example a large percentage of PC software out in the wild has been pirated, yet I wonder if Microsoft sold Windows and Office for say, 10 dollars a pop, would anyone even bother with activation hacks and suchlike?

Cammy that is a work of art. I too like many it seems have decided that running OS3.1 is better overall than 3.9 :). Just bought the developer cd 2.1 so I should be coding soon for the Amiga myself. I do a little php etc, so "how hard can it be??!?!"

I am not much bothered about a CSS/flash/java browser if the target machine is AGA or less, simply because the pages will still look crap and in low resolution. I think the apps would be better written to what the Amiga is strong at, paint/animation programs, TV and music editing, games and possibly an office-type package. A browser is nice but most websites are targeted at much higher resolutions than we can handle - unless I suppose if it is done but with loads of support for the various graphics options.....

... saying that, gfx cards are RARE! How about expanding the bounties to include hardware? By paying the hardware guy's R&D costs, this would allow them to make classic hardware without so much financial risk....
