- ZELADOR IS FREEWARE NOW
- -----------------------
-
- Why am i releasing Zelador for free now?
-
- That's because no-one cares about it, even Zelador being a 5-dollars'
- shareware software.
-
- The fact is that I CAN'T COMPETE with a guy from a rich country like
- France or Germany who receives money FOR studying in university with free
- time for releasing good free software just for fun!
-
- Amiga is full of software designed by such type of people!
-
-
- Sorry pal, but i live in a country which, WITH LUCK, you can get a job so
- you're able to sustain yourself and buy food. Here a computer is 10 times
- harder for buying than for a west-european Richie-Rich.
- Being a programmer is not a cheap thing, you need to invest money for
- books/etc and lots, lots of time.. and, believe me, time IS money. (in case
- of Amiga, lost money)
-
- Well.. just ONE user registered Zelador, can you believe it? Only ~5
- people requested register information.. and absolutely no
- congrats/bug-report/whatever messages.. i'm being treated by Amiga users
- JUST LIKE Windoze users but with a difference: i'm not receiving a single
- cent of dollar.
-
-
- Looking behind i see where Windoze is and where could i be as a
- programmer if i decided for a PC in 1990 instead, in that moment, that great
- A500.
- Now i'm a looser just because i'm a good programer but for the wrong OS,
- while there's a Visual Crap Basic stupid brainless unexperienced kid is
- receiving good money and fame for his crap softwares.
- I'm not receiving money and i have absolutely zero moral rewards from
- Amiga community (as if i were the only shareware programmer with this
- problem) so what's the point developing for Amiga? No one cares.
-
- I'm no longer developing a single line of code for Amiga OS (or that
- pseudo-Amiga that MooMoo's Amiga NG).
-
-
- After C= failure, Escom failure and MooMoo's 2-years-long talking about
- NG and kicking original Amiga technology i finally gave up.
-
- And about these brazilian Amiga users (and brazilians in general).. what
- could i say about them, not using a single bad word?
-
-
- There's a limit even for the most optimistic and determined man in Earth.
- Mine's reached.
