I'm considering upgrading to Classic OS4.1, but I previously bought Classic OS4.0, which, due to the many problems with it I have had very little use from it, it's basically like new, very little mileage, one careful owner, you know the rest.
So ... Is there going to be either an upgrade price or a trade in discount to migrate to Classic OS4.1?
I know, I know, Darren Eveland keeps saying the 'point one' does not show the amount of work, and the considerable improvement that Classic OS 4.1 has over Classic OS 4.0 - but surely that is my point.
I paid good money, and got a poorly supported, barely usable OS that is frankly the ONLY Amiga OS upgrade that I REGRET buying, and I moved from OS - well we used to call is Workbench 1.3, to WB2.04, then to WB2.1, then WB3.0, then WB3.1, then WB3.5, then WB3.9 up to Boing Bag 2 + Euro update.
I want to support Classic OS 4.1, BUT paying yet another comparatively large sum of money for an Amiga OS is not really fair, considering the appalling mess that occured for many, many Classic OS4.0 users when they tried, and failed, and tried, and failed, and ... well you must realise what I mean by now.
I'm really hesitant about spending the money, even though it's for my favourite platform, but I've been 'bitten' once, so don't want that happening again, and certainly not by the amount currently being asked for. whatever the improvements.
I'd like you to consider the fairness for those of us who've hung on for such a long time to get to Classic OS4.x, AND be able to USE IT !
Then step back, pause for a moment, and ask yourselves if you're being fair to those users, and then make your decision.
I want to be treated fairly, and I'd like the many other users to be treated in the same fair manner, so I'm asking for a fair decision on this sensitive subject, and hope to hear some heart-warming news from you in the near future.
Thanks for being there.
