Amistore supposed to launch today. Any sign yet?

[TrevorDick]

Can someone write a quick review of the store? I don't have an AOS 4 machine and I'm curious

Epsilon did a pre-release sneak peek

Is there a particular email contact address for when Paypal collects your money, but fails to notify the AMIstore site?

[ddniUK]

hmmm dunno. I would pmail amigakit.

[danbeaver]

As you will have noticed from your Paypal statement, the funds are transferred to A-Eon.com, so the AmigaKit site may not be aware of these transactions.

[amigakit]

Please pmail me so I can look into any problems for you.  Please describe in detail so I can help.  Thanks.

Does anyone know when AmigaOS4.2 is coming out?

Does anyone know when AmigaOS4.2 is coming out?

Haha.  4.1 FE isn't even hot off the presses yet, and people are already clamoring for 4.2.  Let's go, Hyperion!!  :roflmao:

Holy @#$!  I just went to the Amistore and... hey guys, DON'T put a loud as hell video when you click the link... I think I need new underwear now... had headphones on about half volume...

P.S.  After cleaning out my shorts, I'll have some time to browse around...

Does anyone know when AmigaOS4.2 is coming out?

I'll bet somebody has an estimate, but none of that information is available; it has been the death of companies to announce a product release date and then miss it repeatedly.  Best to wait until it is complete and the DVD/CD pressed to then give a date; this leaves people drooling for the next few weeks until they are ready just to throw wads of cash at their monitor just to get their hands on a fully working product when it is finally out the door.

Just check the past 30 years for companies' obituaries that couldn't meet a promised date, and think of "bad" releases that had to be suddenly patched up (iOS8).

I think it was mentioned at AmiWest that 4.2 is far from finished.

Hi All,

Looks like AmiStore is available now.

Great, this is so much better than downloading software over the Internet and using Pay-Pal to transfer money to the developers! Oh, wait...

:lol:

@tmhgm did you miss your meds this morning?

@tmhgm did you miss your meds this morning?

Why? Was my post really that insane? Or did you just want to insult me?

:confused:

[ddniUK]

Apologies if I insulted you.
It was a joke at your expense, relating to your ranting in numerous threads that don't feature your favourite OS.

[takemehomegrandma]

It was a joke at your expense

That much I understood.

relating to your ranting in numerous threads that don't feature your favourite OS.

This however I don't understand? Or perhaps it was meant as yet another insult, or another joke at my expense?

:confused:

@takemehomegrandma

A valid comment. I dont really like paypal that much, but its usable. Ive seen comments that some people cant use it or just flat out wont.

That aside; a Storefront like Steam or AmigaStore for example makes products more visable, and opens up comments/reviews readily available (granted, comments can be found on several forums).
You could say that everything is available on OSdepot, but that depends upon people being willing to actually donate. And based on comments seen, people are not so good at pressing that "donate" button.

So I agree; the payment system can be more like Steam (ontop of other features).
