Mathew, I heartily agree with your comments about WP Corp. Some people were saying that WP Corp. didn't really support the Amiga. That's a joke. As you said, they do still support the current Amiga version of WP with a toll free number, even though they aren't going to upgrade it. Most Amiga developers are so small that if they stopped upgrading a program because it wasn't profitable to do so, it would probably mean that they had to go out of business. Then there would be NO support at all for even their exisiting products. I know at least one company that currently makes some popular Amiga software products that doesn't even answer the phone at all. If you call, you're put in an endless loop of voice mail, without the option of speaking to a person. Some people say that's because it's a small company and you can't compare them to a huge company like WP Corp. Fine, but then don't penalize WP Corp. for the support they are able to give to a discontinued product, just because they are a big company. WP Corp. supports the Amiga better for its discontinued product, then many Amiga developers do for their current existing products. Dom Fontana <– Sent from New York via AutoPilot –>
