@Seehund

Before the World Wide Web, when Commodore was involved were you whining about their licensing scheme? Did you constantly complain to your friends and neighbors about how horrible it was that you had to buy an Amiga computer to get a copy of Amiga OS? Did you write letters to Commodore complaining? Did you write in to computer magazines? Did you rant at computer club meetings from 1985 until 1994 about how unfair it all was? Or are you more recently outraged? Did you yell at Mac users from 1984 on about how horrible it was to have to buy Apple hardware to run the MacOS? Do you spend the same amount of your time harassing Apple? Do you complain at MacOS web sites? Even as they moved to X86 processors, one still must buy a certain motherboard to run their OS. That must infuriate you too.

Do you think staying on Amigaworld.net and lecturing me on the evils of the policies of Amiga Inc. will get them to change? Do you think that it will get me to change? I have always bought Amiga hardware to run the Amiga OS (since 1985). It is not new to me or upsetting in the least. It is the way it always has been. I will continue to buy the hardware that runs the software that I want to run. Amiga Inc. will do what they want to with their property. Your displeasure with the situation will make no difference to either of us.
