"Located on YOUR servers is offering the illegal download of commercial
software. Several of our licensees have contacted us asking for
assistance in having this web site cease and desist immediately with
the piracy of commercial and copyright software."
Nothing about workbench, or kickstart or anything... :\ No saying which
licensees, no realisation that people just want old games that aren't available
any other way any more. I'd rather buy an original boxed, game with a manual than
download a cracked ADF of it... but since companies aren't interested in
releasing old stuff at *realistic* prices, if at all, the only way to get this
is to download it... or buy Amiga Classix CDs from Epic...
BTW, does anyone know if Epic still selling those CDs?

Thanks. It usually generates a nice response though. ;)

But will you be able to use it? ;)

Pretty much. With the exception that I'm more sure I'd like the BoXeR, after all
it just runs AmigaOS 3.x. Whereas the AmigaOne is running something new I
haven't used yet, and I might not like the DE...
Carpe Diem,
