Likewise; the NC3.0 CD fault was at worst a minor inconvenience but to be
honest I really don't care - as far as I'm concerned I would have paid the
same amount just to have a licence key e-mailed to me. As long as I've got
a working licence key I'm happy and with Amigas being Amigas, I don't expect
to have to reinstall anything except in exceptional circumstances anyway.
In the face of all this Chris, an NC3.1 CD on a magazine sounds like a
brilliant idea and I'm amazed (but happy) you're pursuing it rather than
saying "f*ck off to you all" and disappearing without trace.
To the person who was discussing business practices: what you say may well
be right, prudent and all the rest of it. But textbooks and the real world
aren't always the same thing and when you're talking about a platform where
sales are measured in the *HUNDREDS* then it's almost certainly a case of it
could either be like it was or not at all. Amiga users are very helpful and
supportive anyway so it's not such a big deal to be put out just a little
bit even if *legally* you might have a right to sue the ass off some poor
guy who decided to do the world a favour by putting together an incredibly
competetively-priced package of everyone's favourite net software.
Chill, everyone?
