REVIEW: AMINET 17 CD-ROM

Aminet 17 Other review: Aminet 17
Ok, I'll just skip the usual great stuff in this CD and jump right to the things that Suck(tm) on this CD......which are ....erhmm..well there isn't any..Argh, just when I though I could find something to complain. Hmm Is it possible that Jason Compton is right about this thing? Is Aminet created to cause grey hairs to reviewers who try to come up with something original about these CD's?

Oh, well back to the usual then. On the Aminet 17 the weight is on Demos. Mods and Pictures. (total of about 600MB of them). Demo listing is quite extensive. For example there are new demos and then there are lots of older demos too like demos from The Party 94, 95 and 96. There are pix and mods from the Saturne 96 gathering..

On the mods directories I must mention the hefty bunch of DigiBooster modules on the '8voic' directory.

BTW. The commercial product of the CD is back again. This time it is Cloanto's Personal Write. IMHO Personal Write is a little outdated. The Interface is not very userfriendly and it looks more like advanced text editor not a full text document processor. I'd take FinalWrite 5 any day compared to this.

All in all the CD is guaranteed Aminet quality, no surprise there.. The well known guide interface makes it happen everytime like magic, which the Aminet actually must be. Sometimes seems that there is NOTHING like this available on other platforms. Yes there is a lot of different shareware sites to get what you fancy but nothing gets even near to the Aminet..
