EA have never played in small markets.. that's why they used to do software for the Amiga ;-)

Anyway AROS's UberPaint, is written in C and opensource so why doesn't someone work on it? It would be easily portable to both MOS and OS4...

Signed it, for what ever good it will do.  What happened to MorphOS support?  :-P

AROS - looks neat, but, until it shows up on hardware other than PC's hardware (don't have any / will not buy any), its a waste.  When a version that will work on a PPC system is ready for prime time - call me!   :-D


It's certainly not a waste, and yes work is still going to get it fully functional on the PPC.
