The Aminet CD series was cancelled this month, and Amiga-News.de interviewed Urban Müller, the Aminet founder, to find out why and ask a few questions about Aminet's long history and hopefully long future (it is just the CDs that are being cancelled, not Aminet). I remember way back when that everyone who uploaded original software to Aminet was eligible for a free CD. I wrote some stuff that I put on Aminet, but I don't think I ever applied for the free CD back then, oh well! It's okay, because I didn't have a CD-ROM drive on my Amiga. ;)

I did too upload some of my own stuff to AmiNet, the first time my programs appeared on an AmiNet CD (nr 10), I got it completly free (free shipping), but after that it changed to you had to pay for the shipping. That was IMHO quite nice.

I wonder how AmiNet will handle MorphOS/AmigaOS4, IMHO it would be time to build up two new trees, one for Classic AmigaOS (the current one), one for MorphOS/PowerUP and last AmigaOS4/WarpOS.
If not, then there must be included a flag to tell for what system the different stuff is for, so you could search for say lzx fro MorphOS without getting the whole list filled with a lot of classic AmigaOS stuff.

but, last, thanks mr Müller for the work you have put into AmiNet and for the work you will put into it in the future.
