- It was more than Pirates that killed the Amiga! It was too much
- PD/Shareware, too many people who refused to upgrade their OS versions and
- constantly demanded backwards compatibility, too many people who refused to
- upgrade their computers, and too many users who wanted too much for free.
-
- Eventually, in the above setting, someone has to pay the Piper. Our time
- has come!
