I definatly prefer the CD, but I do admit that if I DIDN'T have a CD-ROM,
I'd be pissed. The ONLY reason I own a CD-ROM (dirt-slow single speed)
is for the Flyer software, which is currently only available on CD. I've
found other uses for it since, though.
What I mean is, 95% of Amiga users don't HAVE CD-ROMs. I was just
picturing Amigian after Amigian going out and buying a CD-ROM to use the
Flyer/LW.
I don't think I had a point here... I'll just keep babling on...
OK. I think CD-ROMs are the way to go, but there's no sense in
releaseing on CD-ROM when most people don't have CD-ROM drives. I would
prefer if Amigas came with CD-ROMs, but until they do, you'll still need
a disk-based version to accomidate the majority of Amiga users.
OK, I made my point...
