Re: Vogons vs Turlettes

["Arkain" <rwking@no.usa.spam.net>]

Let me guess...

C. Turley is in the "abandon-ware" camp and considers all of the old A2
software that isn't still being suported and sold by the copyright holder(s)
to be "fair game."

----------------------------

Aren't all of these chuckleheads, Vogons & Turlettes alike, missing
something? The A2 system line has become a do-what-you-like domain. It has
returned to the hobbyist beginning that it came from. Why don't these 2
opposing sides just get together and petition the "powers that be" to
release all this hardware/software that's no longer being sold or supported
as public domain? If enough people are in on the petition, either the
materials will be released, or the companies will wake up to the business
opportunities. Either way, the A2 community wins.
