- In my opinion, that "for now" has been going on for far too long. I'm
- not about to buy a CDTV unless some sort of AGA version of it comes out,
- but I do spend (horrors) about $1000 per year on Amiga software. If I
- could use CDTV disks in my 3000, I'd buy a CD-ROM drive, and what ever
- other little bits of hardware are required, and start giving some of
- that money (probably additional money) to CDTV developers. C= is
- hurting its development base by not letting CDTV software work on other
- amigas, and it's just inconceivable that 2 years is too little time to
- port the "special code".
-
- Release this stuff, dammit!
