Wow, I totally agree.
As someone who used WinUAE for years and THEN bought AmigaForever I think I can see the difference.
It's mostly about convenience. I can instantly try out an Amiga1000 ! (which I haven't seen in a dogs age)
I can use my A3.9 OS programs. When i had my WinUAE I had to spend a long time setting it up. With AF, it's almost instant.
I can try out AmiKit (although mine got borked for some unknown reason), and AmigaOS. Which is great because these are ready made setups.
PLus, the Premium Edition has historic videos and images. I am one of these people that believes in keeping History alive.
Plus, the updates are automatic - assuming your system is online, of course.
contrary to what some may think my money was well spent and I like my AF.
Hi,
I totally agree with you, I like winuae and have bought every edition that they have brought out since 2005 basically for their support and to keep them going. I believe that good programming effort deserves to be supported. I am not cheap, and basically do not expect anything for nothing. I would be sending money for registration for IDEfix97 if the place where I was going to send the money was still open.
Yeah, your observation that uae is free, I know this from using Ubuntu Linux and use it on there, but I miss the major attractions of Amiga Forever.
The best thing I like about using AF is that I am saving my Amiga silicon, I don't have to worry about burning something up in my classics. So all of you can act Karlos like and say why are you spending money on something that is free?
