Real 3d

The original purpose of the thread has got me thinking....

Talking about the software rights of programs that are very old (in IT terms) is indicative that it is a major drawback for Amiga's survival.

If Amiga had a whole stack of Open sourced software that ran on it, the community would grow.

I mean if a bunch of popular open source software (Blender? Firefox, Openoffice.org) was available then transition into Amiga from outside would be easier for users.

It wouldn't be a case of trying to out-linux Linux but a case of making bridges from AmigaOS to the rest of the world... no man is an island.....

@Dingo_aus:

I totally, 1000% agree.  There's so many awesome programs that were written for the Amiga, many of which could gain a new lease on life in the open source world.  I'm not really sure what it would take to make this happen...  a mass buyout from absentee copyright owners?  A prayer vigil?  Who must we bribe to make this a reality?  I'm guessing the best way to get some momentum behind such an idea is to first start by making a list of the programs which people would like to have open-sourced and then, perhaps, try to approach the copyright owners?  Dunno the best way to go about it, but I think its a great idea, at least in concept..

@ monty,

I am looking for a Phase5 CyberStorm PPC card and they don't make or support them any more, do you have one that you can "gimme"?

This kind of speculations are the plague of the amiga scene these days!

What is wrong with you? Here he was trying to be nice and then you attack him? What is wrong with selling a legally bought piece of software?

I actually think you should be banned for behaving like this. It is not ok to insult or do any kind of personal attacks at a member and i am sure there is something about it in the guidelines as well.

You are hostile against other members in many of your preivous posts as well.

So back to the question, what was the last Real3D amiga version released?

[stopthegop]

3.5

Maybe it's just a coincidence but I was just on another Amiga forum where someone asked the very same question about Real3D and wanted to have it "zoned"; you know what I mean...

And then he gets offered to buy a legal copy here and flips out?! I actually agree with Tomas that people should be banned for behaviour like this.
