- Your Not FORCED to download every single Update! AmIRC is Now on AmiNet
- Anyway with it's Released Version, Download that version and don't ever bother
- Upgrading Again, since it works with MUI 3.2 or higher, you wouldn't be FORCED
- to upgrade that Either.
-
- Gezzz, Excuse the Programers for Acually WORKING on there Software to IMPROVE
- it and posting Updates. I guess you where Bitching about Virus Checker also
- as New Updates for that were ALWAYS comming out.
-
- I guess there's people out there that just got to bitch about something one
- way or another. You can't win when you Release software, and It's not Updated
- for a while, and you can't win, when you do Update and Release it As it get's
- Improved for the BETTER.
-
- I guess we should all just say, HEY, Don't post a UPDATE to your software For
- at least 6 months to a Year. We can just ALL wait untel there's just a bunch
- of Improvments all at once, we don't care if you Made some some GOOD
- Improvments, and Bug Fixes, we'll just ALL wait untel there's a bunch of
- Improvments, and HOPE your few Beta testers find all the BUGS, we wouldn't
- have to wait Yet ANOTHER Year for a bug Fixed vesion, wouldn't want a New
- UPDATE right away after all, That might be called good SUPPORT, we wouldn't
- want the AMIGA to have that after all, like them PC's and MAC's that get
- Updates to there Software all the time. Why be like them after all!
-
-
- I just don't get it! If Anything AmIRC has GOT to be one of the EASYEST
- programs to get Updates for and INSTALL. If ONLY it was that simple for other
- programs on the Amiga, Or even the PC and Mac. I've been Downloading Most all
- of the Updates for AmIRC and AmFTP as they were comming out and watch how the
- program Greatly Improved with Each version. Also THEY were BOTH BETA
- versions at the time, So your Complaining about Updates comming out ALL the
- time for BETA software, that really LAME of you. You could have just WAITED
- for the Release version, and just Downloaded it ONCE. When the Released
- version comes out it's posted on AmiNet. AmIRC Relased version CAME out, it's
- on AmiNet.
-
-
- If you just have to bitch about AmIRC for it's Updates, then use Grapevine for
- the IRC! It doesn't even use MUI, so you wouldn't have to worry about Bug
- Fixed vesions of that Either. As for Updates, there Few. There's omly been 1
- NEW DEMO Release in over a Year. You wouldn't even FORCED to use the Newer
- Updated DEMO release.
