I am in a shitty mood today, I have just waited for nearly an hour at the bus stop, then I missed the train cos the bus was late, its sunday, so I had to wait for the next one - another 2 hours late to pick up my kids for XMAS, the ex was not at the station, so I had to phone my parents to ask them to tell me where she now lived, she was not in, and I finally got to the station and she was there ( almost 4 hours after we agreed ) I got the kids, waited for another 50 mins for the next one, then the bus after that which was just over an hour wait, all in all I have had a crappy day.

What makes this worse, is that the kids were soaked, and its not fair on them in this cold wet weather!

Anyway, becaues of this, I am going to have a moan, ( no reasons other than I have already said - I am a turd right now )

Ok, as far as I know, there is only a small handfull of software companies still currently supporting the Atari.

Let me think what they are?

Anodyne - ExtenDOS
ASH - HDDriver / NVDI /Magic etc

erm?

Can anyone tell me any more?

Ok, can anyone then tell me the last time they bought any software? Not including the ones I have said of course!

Right, I am thinking now...

How the hell can it be called piracy,if I was to say, give away any Software, that is from software companies that do not even support the Atari?

to give a couple of examples:-

CuBase ( Any version )
HiSoft Basic / C / Pascal etc

You see, even if I was to openly promote the fact that I was happy to give away software, the software companies would actually have to prove in court, that what I was doing was dammaging their profits, and lets be honest here, how the hell could they if they have not sold any for some time? - Just thoughts of course!

This is not to say I am doing this, or that I ever will, but its somethign that has been bugging me for some time.

Any one else has any thoughts on this sort of stuff, then go for it.
