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.
