- demos!!! If you're so afraid that demos will crash your machine or

- that democoders will start producing OS-demos; more likely they will
- leave the Amiga world.
-
- Why not! You could try to make as good demos as you can with OS. The
- guy who makes the best without banging the hardware obviously is
- a very good (best) demo coder.
-
- Why can't you let us write our demos and have the fun what we want?
-
- Because it makes lives of Commodore engineers a lot easier.

- I agree again. The OS is GREAT, and I can understand that the software
- engineers at C= aren't feeling too happy about people like me, when I
- stuff the OS, which they have been working hard at for several years. But
- I think that every programmer should be given to freedom to do as he/she
- likes, based on guidelines from C=. If we don't care about upwards
- compatibility, it's our problem (we probably never intended these
- programs to run on a future machine; we made them to show what the
- current machine can do, and remember: we never got any money for our
- efforts!!)
-
- Remember that if you coded with OS, you could actually get money.
