The end of an era - AminetCD-serie ends
« on: January 04, 2003, 01:14:44 PM »
Because most of the users have a direct access to the Internet an AminetCD which is published each second month makes no sense. The users can get the software in a much faster way from the Aminet.

Update ...
Negociations has started between Urban Muller and an Amiga company to continue the Aminet CD ...

Because of that the team of the Aminet has decided to stop making the CDs. This has not an influence on the Aminet itself which will be kept leading in the same way.

The newest and last Aminet-CD number 52 (December 2002) offers Superview Productivity Suite II written by Andreas Kleinert as the highlight. The CD is already provided. SuperView IV (SViewIV) reads, writes and/or converts more than 50 graphic formats and also integrates external programs like Xpk, Ghostscipt or MetaView.

Additional to the display of graphics on over 20 supported graphic cards (via CyberGraphX, Picasso96 or special driver systems) the program can also edit the different graphic formats.

This was inevitable and much the same thing is happening to all those PD Libraries.

Shame, but most people have the net and just d/l what they need as they need it.

Still wouldn`t like to see the aminet go down the tubes! :-(

How about making the AminetCD as an online thing? i.e. put all the files that they were going to put onto the CD into an "AminetCD" drawer and let people download it that way.

Aminet is a great resource but some may find it too big and trying to find good utilities in all of it is a bit hard sometimes. The CD was a good way of giving out the good and usefull programs without having to hunt for them.

What a shame i love these cd,s and sets i know most people can download the stuff for themselves but its great to have hundreds of games and music mods on a disk for when you get bored. Take a while as well to work out what you would want from such a massive software selection to  download.

Great cd`s for people without internet access or a very slow connection,

I hope this can be resolved as Aminet is the  godfather of Amiga PD and deserves some decent company to back it,
