Should we really crack IBrowse 2.4???

Who cares. If developers don't take money to licence someone, give it a rest. It's their decision. Cracking it is just demotivating any developer. Relax people, why the sudden need for a full fledged browser on the Amiga platform? Just use Firefox for now. I grew up with terminal emulation software on the Amiga, never touched any webbrowser until WinUAE came around.

You assume that everyone has the same browsing needs t(or lack thereof) as you.
Even so, the real question of cracking is moot.  Many (most?) Amiga enthusiasts may not even be on these forums and therefore will find iBrowse by navigating to the homepage for iBrowse, read the "latest update" from Jan '07 and rightly assume the product is abandoned.  Leaving a page up, posting "lastest news" that is over a year old and then never coming back is the norm for abandoned Amiga projects.  In another year or two the page will dissapear alltogether.

The way it should go...

On sunday I went to the homepage of DVPlayer (http://dvplayer.amigarevolution.com/) for AOS4. I ordered my keyfile, paid with credit card and on monday evening I got my keyfile!

Simple and easy, a very good example!

i'm voting "yeah go ahead!" i'd like to see all those amiga crackers brake out the good stuff and do moana while you're at it...  :idea:  :idea:  :idea:

have they finished yet. :roll:

I agree, let's get Moana working and put to work those old PPC Macs...

I detest pirating of software and those that do it, but I have to admit that given the current state of Amiga Inc. and Hyperion, I am all for turning all the pirates loose on getting Moana to work on every PPC Mac ever produced.

It would be the greatest thing to happen to the Amiga community since the invention of the Video Toaster!

It might even bring back a few of the Amiga developers and coders that have left us long ago.

Be patient... the IB team 'IS' reading this thread.

I posted earlier in this thread about my problem of owning
a legal copy of IB 2.3 and not being able to get my key to
work.

I was supprised and happy to receive an EMail from one of
the IB team interested in solving my problem. :-D
So I think they should be cut a little slack, they obviously
care, else I wouldn't have receive the EMail help.

Stop your bloody moaning, AWeb 3.5.09 and IBrowse 2.4 is better than nothing.

So its a wait, so what.

Take no notice IBrowse team your doing what you can where no one else is.

I say this, if those who moan about this, then why don't they do better?

I for one cant, but at least the IBrowse team are trying slow yes but they are sticking with it.

So come on slag me off for typing this lot.

Here are my options:-

1:- Athlon 64bit dual core and Firefox 2.0.0.14
2:- Amikit and AWeb 3.5.09 and IBrowse 2.4
3:- Amiga 1200 expanded Aweb 3.5.09 and IBrowse 2.4.

Can I get onto the Internet with this lot?  Yes I can.
Can I access the sites I want with this lot? Yes I can.
Do I moan? no I don't
I am grateful for what I have, ANY of this lot gets me onto the Internet.
Do I get the downloads I want? yes I do.
My best site is Aminet and Amiga.org do I get them? yes I do.

Mike.

How can use a User IBrowse without a key?

[swift240]

For certain things IBrowse is ok for 30 minutes.

The IB Demo version works, but I think it only allows an
hour on line at a time (not real sure about time).

Really, take a look on http://www.reg.net/, I bought some days ago my DV-Player key. Why is this not possible for IBrowse?

I can not program, but I am a good marketing guy, I offered my help and 1500€, what can I do more???

But you are maybe right, I will STOP!!! I have my original key since many, many years, but I tried to get some keys for the users in my forum.
I tried to help the users and I got many flames and bad emails, so I will stop.  :crazy:

This thread reminds me again why I never asked any money for my software.

You have to admit it's kind of funny that your group is able to remake a run of brand new Amiga motherboards, then a run of 68030 accelerators for the motherboards, then an all new form factor ethernet card for the new motherboard and as soon as the run is finished the main application you have for the hardware is removed from the market!  

You should get together and make a run of PPC boards for your Amiga 1000s and then watch as OS 4.0 gets yanked from the market a few weeks before they ship!
