Why are they selling this a a bundled package with 2 emulators and
Amiga OS. What about all the people who already own an Amiga but
do not use that machine due to hardware limitations, or like myself
who has 2 Amigas but only use 1. I also have bought OS3.5 and 3.9, so
I have 2 copies of 3.1, 1 copy of 3.5 and 1 copy of 3.9, the last
think I want is another copy of Amiga OS. It is just a waste of money
and I would not be breaking any Amiga copyright by using 3.5 on the
emulator.

I am sure that it will sell itself on performance but the vendors should address
the above issues. I for one am reluctant to buy the bundle at that price. I find
this disappointing as I have already download and installed QNX with the new
emulator in mind. Maybe they will have a change of mind.
See Ya
