Free S/W H/W Update - Well **** me with a pickled onion!

Okay, it looks like I owe you an apology pickled onion. :-). I'm too much of a greedy capitalist to understand your reasoning I guess ;-).

The idea of donating it to Hyperion is the best idea so far imho. Perhaps OS4 for BlizzPPC might see the light if day after all, that way :-).

@tpg:
Bah humbug!

Well....that's what fundamentalists are for. Not affectable by reason ;-).

@lempkee:

Ofcourse, pirating software which is still available and of which ppl can still make money sucks, agreed.

But how in the world can pirating Lemmings or whatever old game hurt anyone? Buying secondhand is also no use, the authors don't get any money that way. In fact reselling software is illegal I'd say (if you follow the letter of the law).

(Or am I missing your point completely?)

Depends on how much they're asking. I haven't bought an Amiga game in years (the last game I bought is prolly Nightlong), but even back then age-old games were going for 'fullprice' prices.

I know, it's illegal/unethical (towards the dealers), but I refuse to pay 25EUR for 8 year old games (then again I don't play em either %).


And yes, I'd still call Lemmings abandonware in that case
