Reply to thread Tell you what lets agree to disagree on this... I really don't want to deal with ROL either as last year I emailed them about the middle of the year to purchase RO roms from them and must have sent 4 or 5 emails (form different accounts in case that was a problem) to get the price so I could order their product and to date I have had no response at all from ROL... How do they expect to sell a product if they won't reply to a customer who wants to buy the OS.... And I challenge you to tell me how treating a potential new customer (someone returning to risc os) like this isn't going to put a nail in the proverbial coffin? Also I am not stupid and on examening the options I buy the os then I can subscribe to "the Select scheme" to get more functionallity... Who in their right mind that is returning to the market is gonna pay ROL money for select with the track record they have had so far.... You say you want the market moved on well lets make it happen and give everyone a product the can get behind... As I said at the top of this post I can see we will never agree on this so I'll end the conversation after this post but take note a few thousand A9's and Ionix's dosn't constitute a market for any software developer and if you want all the software to be available on the markets fastest and premium hardware your gonna have to find numbers from somewhere. And I suggest it will take a lot longer to make ROOL available on a totally new device and attract new customers than it will to get it working on an RPC which people already own... Well that's it i'll say no more on the subject otherwise we will still be posting this time next year...
