[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 42 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 08-Mar-2004 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 37 (Don Cox): > Would you buy a piece of machinery if you knew there were no spare parts available (and there never would be)?
I've never bought software before testing it and I recommend you do the same and verify that it is good quality before you part with money. After that, it will not break down due to wear or lack of oil, trust me on that ;) I have a lot of software on my computer that is totally unsupported but is very good and well worth the money originally paid: an older version of Corel, PicturePublisher, VaroDVD, SAS/C etc. Your idea that good but unsupported software has to be uploaded somewhere is true kaazaa spirit but still nonsense. Besides, to come back to the machine metaphor above, if your coffee maker (or other China product in the Amiga software price range) dies in five years, you will find it quite difficult to get spare parts for it. |
