Imho they should be doing something more useful with their time, like selling keyfiles for all the people who would like to buy one but can't. :(


Selling keyfiles is up to Stefan Stuntz.  I thought you could still get them but might have to wait a while for him to send one and you don't get personalised keyfiles anymore.

It is, however, a source of confusion. No classic apps require it and it runs like cr** on classic systems, but people think they're doing themselves a favor by installing "the latest version" and then having all kind of problems. :(


It does say it needs a fast CPU and emulation is recommended over a real 68k Amiga.

Maybe it'll make more sense on the Vampire hardware.  I remember when World Construction Set 2 was reviewed in CU Amiga and the reviewer complained that MUI was a resource hog because of the memory requirements.  That was when it was still uncommon to have more than 2MB due to the high price of RAM.

The point is that they're not pretending it isn't slow on lower end hardware.
