Henry, Before you accuse me of picking on EA exclusively, i suggest you go back over this thread. You will see that it was a thread that was started by someone other than myself, and that it was already about EA as well as the philosophy of programs for the Amiga before I made any comments about their software. That 'LOTS' of hames for the Amiga are copy protected matters not a whit to me as I feel the same way about all of them. You asked for comments about EA software by stating that you thought they were getting bad press without justification. i responded with concrete examples. Don't tell me I single out EA for bashing. If you had spent the past year or so on the Amigaforum you would know that I speak my mind on any and all software, and give my opinions, along with the rerasons for those opinions, no matter whose product it is. In addition, when a company does a particularly good job, whwther it be in products offered or service or any other way, i applaud them for it. When the opposite is true, i slam them. I think you are confusing strong opinions on software with 'slamming with enthusiasm'. i will admit that I am equally enthusiastic about praising the good and panning the bad. No, I would not have a different view of things if I was selling software. I would not sell a program that was copy protected. If I did, I would expect to hear from users like myself that I was doing the wrong thing. It's the decision of the vendor to protect or not, and it's mine to buy or not. Simple, elegant, and makes perfect economic sense. I wish you would read the 'reprehensible attitude' comments again. I am saying that they are focusing their efforts in the wrong areas. That's my opinion, and i stick by it. So what's wrong with saving high scores to a different disk? They made th choice. I have my opinions of that choice. Again, simple and elegant. Their choice has directly determined how much money they can expect from my pocket. -larry
