"Why you should care ? Why pay to someone who got no rights to sell these products ?? Then to just to download is much better.."
if it is no longer available anywhere else what is the problem? I have thousands of dollars of registered software that no longer is supported, hell my 3 web browsers refuse to work and I paid the full price for all 3 (A web, Voyager and I browse) I tried to upgrade Voyager but I didn't like that they could access my computer when running it.
Aweb has a serious Font problem now and I browse just doesn't work, been a couple of years since I gave up on them.
I have to use my PC to get files then send through email because Clanoto's and Larson's networking packages are a joke. (and a 50 dollar upgrad got you a CD of the same package I already owned) I also have a delfina sound card that is crap, 149 bucks and all it does is play the music on CD's, they told me my 040 was not fast enough, so I bought an 060, then they admitted that version 1.1 is junk, sorry, you will have to buy the new version.
And just try to remove that stupid sound file they somehow installed on boot up. I'm not a programmer but that was when my web browsers all quit working properly.
Imagine 2.0, a broken program from day 1, couldn't even render the cow following the instructions. But, if you send us 50 bucks every year we will send you more broken programs, opps we went PC.
Every word processing or desk top program for the Amiga prints like crap, so I bought a 100 dollar Pro Print program that will make the printer work properly, and guess what, it didn't. They should have claimed it was just a dithering program, I can use TV Paint for that, I have pagestream 3.0 but it is overkill to just type a letter and adjust every rn that is in the document. Can't anyone kern? My commodore 64 prints better then the Amiga.
How about Amiga OS 3.5, after you buy it they tell you it doesn't work with a Warp 040 card, very nice of them, then when you go public they accuse you of having a pirated version, well I bought the CD from Compuquik. Randy is a great person, they didn't even bother to tell him it had problems with a Warp 0404 board.
I had one heck of a time restoring my system to get it to work again and I use my Amiga for a business.
"Hell who want a fake copy when buying a "new" game? They make a lot of money on this, hope someone gets them out of business!"
The only "game" I desire is Lemmings and the only reason is for the grankids.
If I want to play a game I'll use my playstation.
the only software I see myself buying new is the ImageFX the guys sell on Ebay and I'm hoping it will work on my 3000T 060 PicassoII card, I know they were big CybergaphX fans which is why I am taking my time on deciding if I want to try an upgrade.
How about RTG, what a hype, I buy Imagemaster RTG only to find out that I still have to use ECS screens, it will not promote to my PicassoII card, RTG, they left out an O & A
ROTGA Rip Off The Guy Again What good is a 24 bit program if it only works in 32 colors?
Fantastic program I still use it but it sucks to have to save a file and view it with V Tek to see if it turned out the way you wanted.
I have learned that upgrades are not always better. (Pagestream 2.2 is better for me then 4.0 and TV Paint 2.0 is better then 3.?) The other software I want to buy is Calagri's rendering program, I haven't seen that in decades for the Amiga.
That is just off the top of my head, I won't turn around and start listing programs still sitting on my shelf that don't work as advertised.
If it is abandon ware then it is abandoned.
