While it's true that Keith has stopped development on Access!, Timm Martin has not stopped development on SID. A 2.0 version of SID is due to go into beta test shortly. Keith stopped development on Access! for a couple of reasons. The primary reason was that, for a long time, shareware payments from Access was his only source of income. He got tired of eating dry corn flakes and got a "real" job (programming the Amiga) that has kept him VERY busy the last couple of years — now he can afford milk to go on those corn flakes <grin>. Keith's schedule is now starting to slow down enough that, if he cuts down on his sleep from 6 hours a nite to 4, he can fit in a few hours a week to work on a telecom program for the Amiga. His thinking is that it would take about as much work to bring Access! up to 2.0 compatibility than it would to start from scratch on a new term program. He has started that development. How it comes along and when/if it will be finished depends upon his work schedule. Also, re: the "no thank-you note" — Since Access! was distributed in full — nothing withheld until the shareware payment came in, Keith was of the attitude that the shareware payment was your "thank-you" to him. Maybe he should have sent out "You're Welcome" notes?
