Party Pack shipping now : Comment 5 of 5 | ANN.lu |

Well. Hmm. What do we have? Little more than can be downloaded from the CVS repository and built.
Is it worth the money? Yes, if you work out the download costs in Europe, the annoying failures for the AmigaDev site during download and others.
If you already have DE, dont bother although the updates are nice ( just sign the NDA and get them free ).
But, Spuddy. Well Im sorry this just sold the whole DE for me. It even got my computer disinterested partner interested.
Dealer delivery. Eyetech shipped out my two copies ( yes, two machines pay for what I use folks ) and they arrived the MORNING AFTER I ORDERED. Fantastic, even an handwritten note explaining the absence of any money off vouchers.
Current irritations with DE:
No one has ported a decent graphical browser yet. So Ive just ported Gecko to use AVE, it doesnt work yet and they are all my bugs to fix, give me a break Ive only been working on it a day.
Is it something to look forward to on the Amiga Classic OS?
Yes. For the JVM capabilities alone.
Yes. For the Virtual Processor technology as absolutely excellent and Taos class libraries make you wonder why a "Goliath" like Sun isnt looking nervous about the non JVM portion of Taos "David"
So, should you buy?
Yes. Yes. Yes. And Im one of those annoyed with Amiga for its mistakes over the last 18 months in respect to delivery, treatment of the classic direction.
Should you buy the DE anyway? |
