Your Not FORCED to download every single Update! AmIRC is Now on AmiNet Anyway with it's Released Version, Download that version and don't ever bother Upgrading Again, since it works with MUI 3.2 or higher, you wouldn't be FORCED to upgrade that Either. Gezzz, Excuse the Programers for Acually WORKING on there Software to IMPROVE it and posting Updates. I guess you where Bitching about Virus Checker also as New Updates for that were ALWAYS comming out. I guess there's people out there that just got to bitch about something one way or another. You can't win when you Release software, and It's not Updated for a while, and you can't win, when you do Update and Release it As it get's Improved for the BETTER. I guess we should all just say, HEY, Don't post a UPDATE to your software For at least 6 months to a Year. We can just ALL wait untel there's just a bunch of Improvments all at once, we don't care if you Made some some GOOD Improvments, and Bug Fixes, we'll just ALL wait untel there's a bunch of Improvments, and HOPE your few Beta testers find all the BUGS, we wouldn't have to wait Yet ANOTHER Year for a bug Fixed vesion, wouldn't want a New UPDATE right away after all, That might be called good SUPPORT, we wouldn't want the AMIGA to have that after all, like them PC's and MAC's that get Updates to there Software all the time. Why be like them after all! I just don't get it! If Anything AmIRC has GOT to be one of the EASYEST programs to get Updates for and INSTALL. If ONLY it was that simple for other programs on the Amiga, Or even the PC and Mac. I've been Downloading Most all of the Updates for AmIRC and AmFTP as they were comming out and watch how the program Greatly Improved with Each version. Also THEY were BOTH BETA versions at the time, So your Complaining about Updates comming out ALL the time for BETA software, that really LAME of you. You could have just WAITED for the Release version, and just Downloaded it ONCE. When the Released version comes out it's posted on AmiNet. AmIRC Relased version CAME out, it's on AmiNet. If you just have to bitch about AmIRC for it's Updates, then use Grapevine for the IRC! It doesn't even use MUI, so you wouldn't have to worry about Bug Fixed vesions of that Either. As for Updates, there Few. There's omly been 1 NEW DEMO Release in over a Year. You wouldn't even FORCED to use the Newer Updated DEMO release.
