The real problem is that the programmers get all bitter and disappointed
and don't want to even think about Amiga software.

The need is for some kind of central site which would handle
downloading, registration and support for them. It could be mildly
profitable (as a part-time activity) if fifty or so programs were
stocked. Whoever operated it would have to be both honest and
thick-skinned.
