Hey Jim, > > This week alone a conservative count on *just* newsgroups shows > at least 50 people *wanted* it so obviously it has value and want. ;-) > > Simple, you want it and it's not free.....BUY it. Otherwise keep wanting > or petition AI to release it. > > Jim > > This is the old legalize drugs argument though!! If the ROMs were free, there would be no demand. My point is that Microsoft doesn't care about the old versions of DOS, Apple lets people download the entire version fo system 6 and 7.5!!! In the meantime, old obsolete "people don't even know they are around anymore" Amiga Inc. is holding on to their ancient patents. Enough of this yawner of a conversation!! Who really cares? No matter what we think, Amiga says no and that is going to go until they finally draw their last breath. Shouldn't be long now with the latest lie about the stupid Amiga One. Who is going to buy that I wonder. More than 5000 people? Unlikely. Probably a few hundred will be sold and this whole thing will be one big tax writeoff. And BTW, these AmigaOnes will be worth NOTHING on the second hand market. Hate to say it but you all have to know it is true. Who wants a computer with no software, no support and nothing to make it better than anything else out there? Puhleeze. The only reason there is a demand right now for old Amiga hardware is the fact that there is so much second hand software and shareware available for it. Sorry this post got long. Peace Paul -- Amiga 3000D Housed in a Toaster Oven Case(AKA Big Ugly) Rev 9, KS 3.1, Apollo 3060 @ 50Mhz, 64 Meg RAM Delfina Lite Sound Card Spectrum Card running at 1048x764x16 IL but no flicker Hydra Amiganet Ethernet board using Cable modem Envision 17" Flat screen monitor 9 gig Micropolis 1991AV SCSI(5.25 Full Height internal with room to spare!)
