Why is this guy being flamed so vehemently?
I don't claim any philosophical reasons to want to snub emulators, but I write
shareware I am also a tad bothered by the AMAX owners.  From an emotional
standpoint, its like wanting to snub those who would have their cake and eat it
too.  I guess I'm a little more emotional about these things since I write
shareware _games_ for the Mac (something the Amiga community certainly has up
on us) and I would just like to send them a "This one is for the MAC's"-kind of
message.  But, oh well, I can live with it.
From a more practical side though, what is the likelihood that Amiga owners
would send a Mac author shareware money?  (About as likely as anyone else? :))
