-
- Which is what we are asking for, I would guess. We all know that some of
- what's on the list is available. But, a new buyer may not. IF Amiga
- Technologies produced a CD Rom of some of the better utilities and
- commodities out there (a real 'Extras' disk), paid royalties to the authors
- for any sales, and then offered it with the new OS's ... new Amiga buyers
- will get more 'fluff' with their purchase. And 'fluff' does sell computers.

-
- That's why we u/l'd this here. Maybe some of our programmers will see a
- need and fill it? :)

- Again, agreed.

-
- Agreed ...

-
- That's what we would like to do. Not rewrite ReqTools (for instance), but
- rather include it as an 'Extras' disk with each OS sold giving full credits
- and royalties to the authors.

- I think this is probably happening. :)
