- When are we going to hear the end of this? Okay, fine, it seems that Mr.
- Young has found a flair for digitizing other people's works and passing
- them along to us, but there are hundreds -- nay, thousands -- of people who
- regularly donate their time and efforts to making the Amiga a little more
- useful and a little more fun. And I'm sure that not ONE of them HASN'T
- experienced any "tragedies" of their own (a hard drive implodes, someone
- spills OJ on your 1084s, or the rare and unforgiving "pencil in the internal
- drive" error that once plagued me.)
-
- The point is, Mr. Young obviously found an Amiga before without the combined
- help of the internet. Maybe he could get a job, or sell music to a game
- production team, etc, and put the money together himself, instead of demanding
- retroactive payment for his uploads.
-
- Sure, send him $5. I _do_ hope he gets another machine, he's very good. I
- just hope that he can find a way to make money himself. I mean, what if his
- monitor dies a month after we buy him an Amiga? 8^)
