Hi amigoids,
let us picture together the following scenario:
A guy writes (within 3 weeks) a program that allows those poor people
who have to use the bridgeboard (MessDos card) to use their native
Amiga mouse as an Microsoft (tm?) mouse in PC applications. Being
someone not necessarily interested in selling this thing (which btw
really looks good) he tells CBM Frankfurt about it and waits for an
answer.... He still has no official statement from them, but he
received a "not interested" message thru the back door. Now he sells
his software for about $30-40.
The amusing fact is that this scenario is for real. So I'm here to:
a) announce that such a software exists and that
b) I and especially the author of the program would love to here some
statement from West Chester either saying "Gee, let's cut a deal with
that guy and include it with the Janus software" or "Naah, we don't
want it and have no dime to spend on such nonsense".
This is NO call for a vote, I believe the net is loaded enough
already and that nearly every bridgeboard user could use this tool.
So please CBM, gimme a comment on this soon, so that you can start
negotiating with the author or that I can post his address here so
that interested parties can order his program.
I have absolutely no affiliation with this guy, I just know him from
the phone. No commercial plug intentioned.
See ya,
<CB>
