Alex, I think developers should get paid for their work. I work for one, if they lose money, so do I. I also feel that when you buy something, it should work on the system the box said it will work on. If it don't, you get your money back, or one that does work. Most stores will take it back, or exchange it. Most software on the Amiga don't have this problem. But on the PC, it's a problem. For instance, when I bought Ultima 8:Pagan, it refused to run and would just give me a GPF. I spoke with someone at Origin here on CI$, and they had me up & running in about 1 day. This was great. Had they failed to get it running, I would have returned it. Some developers just don't care, and don't offer any help. Troy
