AmigaSoc the UK usergroup UGN representative body will be hosting a Shareware stall at World of Amiga 1999. Basically there are a number of reason why we are running the shareware scheme, and none of them is to make money! We have been involved with the Amiga for a long time now, and we recognise that a large part of the software available for the Amiga is, or has been at some time, shareware. Software is what keeps a computer alive and with the decreasing commercial market we realise that shareware is becoming more and more important on the Amiga. Here is a list of Shareware authors who have confirmed their participation so far and have agreed for us to sell their products for them. Vapourware Products Virus checker II Alex van Niel F1GP-ED Oliver Roberts PhotoAlbum CyberShow Helmut Hoffmann Webplug Mapplug Esteve Box MagiC64 Michael Kramer ManiacBall Diamond Caves I Diamond Caves II Peter Elzner Star Trek: A Call To Arms Frank Mathieson MysticView Timm S Mueller We are also in negotiation with: Jean-Francois Fabre and his famous Amiga games patches/hard drive installers. A large number of Amigans use shareware programs but have never registered them. Many want to, but to be honest, find it is too much hassle with conversion rates to change money into foreign currencies, etc. We want to support the Amiga and you in any way we can. We would like to see shareware authors being rewarded for the hard work they have done, and we hope our scheme will encourage you to keep supporting the Amiga. We don't hope to gain anything out of this free service A small fee of maybe 50 pence extra will be charged to customers, to cover our costs of duplicating disks, stand hire, etc), As an organisation we hope to keep the Amiga going, with your help we can. The World of Amiga attracts thousands of Amigans annually. Don't miss out. If you would like to help us to help you, then please contact Chris Livermore of AmigaSoc at chrisl@uk.amigasoc.org for further details.
