[News] IOSPIRIT freezes its own AMIGA-developments | ANN.lu |
Posted on 08-Mar-2004 11:53 GMT by Felix Schwarz | 69 comments View flat View list |
Felix Schwarz, with immediate effect, freezes the development of
fxPAINT, fxSCAN, VHI Studio and the IOUSB- and VHI-drivers. Medusa and
IBrowse are external developments and thus are not affected.
All products will stay in distribution. Whether the development will
be reactivated at a later point in time mainly depends on the further
economical and social development of the market and the profits made
with it.
The AMIGA-pages can be found at http://amiga.iospirit.de/ in the
future. Although www.iospirit.de currently still redirects to this
page, we nonetheless would be glad if existing hyperlinks in
AMIGA-context would be adapted accordingly.
Subsequently, you'll find an open letter from Felix Schwarz to the
AMIGA-community in all its occurences.

IOSPIRIT freezes its own AMIGA-developments : Comment 37 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 08-Mar-2004 19:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 36 (Anonymous): "Somebody invented it, somebody made it, somebody sold it and I use it. If it's made of soap or made of bits is splitting hairs."
Would you buy a piece of machinery if you knew there were no spare parts available (and there never would be)?
Would you subscribe to a magazine if you knew it was going to fold after three issues?
The problem with your soap analogy is "somebody made it". Typical programs are barely usable in version 1, get to be usable in version 3, and become professional tools in version 5 (if they last that long). A program is not something that is just made and finished. It is more like a garden, which needs constant attention and development. |
