  22. That's not the issue.  Compatibility problems between A500 and A1200 were
  23. not on a fundamental level.  If all developers had followed guidelines,
  24. compatibility would have been 100%.  An A1200 runs anything the A500 does,
  25. it just runs it differently (i.e. it crashes, because the programmer was
  26. too lazy to write it properly!).
  27.  
  28. Just because a program calls illegal routines or whatever, which don't
  29. work in later versions, doesn't mean the A1200 is at fault.
  30.  
  31. Why do I get the feeling this message is going over most peoples head?
