Those old ROMS should be free. Heck, Commodore failed as a company. They
left thousands with no support, no systems, especially CD32 owners. As soon
as they bought one, commodore went under! Do you think they cared that
customers just spent $300 on a dead product! Why the heck should we pay for
ROMS that are not even significant to todays market! Why should we even
support anyone trying to profit off of those old ROMS!? Which clearly even
AMIGA inc. shows no interest in. As far as im concerned that goes for the
old workbench system as well. Granted Amiga inc. owns them now, but what use
are they to them? Also What held Amiga together for all these years? Who
made it possible for Amiga inc. to even have a market to come back to? Yeah,
it was us. I think Any workbench and Roms pre 4.0 should be free.
It wont hurt sales of workbench 4.0+ because anyone who really uses the
amiga will buy it because of the major OS enhancments they will clearly
need. But hobbyists who still use amigas and emulation for fun will most
likey Not buy it. What real use would it be to them? Besides, Amiga inc. Is
only putting out new workbenches for us, they really have no serious
intetest in doing it. They will generate some money but not enough for it to
be significant in the computer market. So I clearly can't see why pre 4.0
workbech should not be free.
Heh, even Apple gives away there system 7.0 OS for free. Not that im
comparing, but showing how insignificant old software is to todays market.
Maybe we all need to make a fuss over this and start sending email to Amiga
inc.?
Anyway, thats how I feel. If anyone wants to sent email to Aimga inc. to
prompt them to make pre OS 4.0 and ROMS free, feel free to use parts of what
I have already written in your own emails.
