If your going to comment at least pay attention! Did I not say CD32's? Did
you buy an Amiga CD32 in 1986? I think NOT! Cd32's came out in late 1993-94.
The same year commodore went under, geesh!

Want, has nothing to do with it. Of course people want them! H-E-L-L-O!?
And where in my post did I ever say they were worthless? Can't find it can
you? I said they are insignificant to todays market. Which is absolutley
true. All you do is spout personal attacks becuase you can't create a valid
defending argument.  My post, hardly 2 pages, is perfectly to the point.
Unlike your remarks which are usless with no defending point.  All just
useless banter.
Give me a break, pre OS 4.0+ should be free. Not becuase I want them, Dude,
I already have them! But becuase why should anyone pay for something that is
clearly not useable for anything but reminissing and some entertainment. Oh,
and if your going to try and argue that they can be used for something other
that those, im sure there may well be. But why? And why pay for it when
there are plenty of other applications and OS's that can do it all for free.
The joy of playing with old software is fun, but I wouldnt pay for it,
puh-lease! You are just plain out of line and it's clear you have no
argument. 

Amiga inc. definetly has the right to make money on what they own, theres no
questioning that (also stated in my original post). But why bother? No vast
amount of income will come from it. Something others clearly understand.
Even game manufactures realise this by releasing thier old games for free.
Amiga would do better to release the ROMS and pre OS4.0 for free. For the
shear benifit of public relations.
