=== REFERENCED ARTICLE =================================== > Whoa! When did the new version of Lattice (3.04) come out? I have Lattice > v3.03 and my employer sent in the registration cards just as Lattice > requested, yet we have heard nothing of a new version of the compiler. > -- Dan Green ========================================================== I bought Lattice v3.02 in December of 1985, sent in the registration cards and have received no notification of the new(!) version 3.03. My dealer tells me to be patient, Commodore is a little behind in their notification procedures. Hey, I'm not asking for a free upgrade, just some notification of how to purchase an upgrade from my dealer, Commodore or Lattice itself. Besides, if it weren't for Usenet, how would I know there WAS an upgrade, or the bugs to avoid until it arrives? Fortunately, I DO have access to Usenet and mailed for an upgrade directly to Lattice ($15). I can sympathize with Commodore. When you have to get word out to the public to BUY your machines in order to survive financially, there's not much time left to service the people who already have. And, after the free 1.1 WorkBench upgrade, I can't complain too loudly, anyway! Any speculation about how version 1.2 of WorkBench will impact things like Deluxe Paint and other packages which distribute WB in a copy protected form? How many incompatibilities will force people to upgrade how many packages they have purchased? Yes, I know, EA is not copy-protecting Deluxe Paint any more (?). What are other forums on which this information might be available? I think _The Amigan_ is probably one of them. Anyone have a comprehensive list of sources for product information for the Amiga? Usenet is an excellent forum for information about the Amiga, let's consolidate as much information as we can. (At least the Amiga vs. ST discussion has subsided!) PS: Thanks to Commodore for PRODUCING the Amiga! Don't worry, third party manufacturers and your loyal customers won't LET you fall on your face, no matter how hard you try! Please fix your advertising. Tell people WHY the Amiga is great; SHOW THEM! _AmigaWorld_ has the right idea, the key to Amiga appeal is CREATIVITY not computing! The medium IS the message! Personal Computers are not just spreadsheets anymore! /^^^/ / __/__________________________________________________ / !/ Jeffrey Jay Clesius !\ / / Raytheon Submarine Signal Division !_\ /^^^/ / /! 1847 West Main Road, Portsmouth, RI 02871-1087 !/ / ^^^^ !
