Andy made an initial post about products - ultimately leading to a thread about history. There's been something missing from this discussion all along, and that's what I am trying to point out.
MARKMYWORDS REDDIT YES OR NO SOFTWARE
Are they still using it? Do you still support them?HA!! Yes, we're still supporting them!!! Yes it's still in use!!! And why does it matter? Because the same scripts and programs written for our SDK on the Amiga, and same frames can run on our software today!! It's like, you created some software for an Amiga and you are still around but how does that help those people who bought the Amiga software. Are they still using it? Do you still support them? But, at the same time, I have bought products from solid companies and then a year later someone else has a better product or I don't even want the product anymore, so who cares? It's like, you created some software for an Amiga and you are still around but how does that help those people who bought the Amiga software.
Sure, it isn't cool when you buy something and a year later that company isn't even around to support the product. I would also argue that for the consumer it is better to have that sort of innovation and churn than to have a company that takes years to develop vaporware. And, I can easily think of examples of game changing products that were introduced by companies that didn't stay around very long or didn't produce the product very long. Lot's of innovative companies come and go quickly.

History is important because those who ignore history (or are not familiar with it) are doomed to repeat it. If someone purchased very nearly ANY of the products on Andy's list, what do they do now? But if they go away after a few years then what do customers who've bought their products do? I'd like you all to think about that for a moment. New things always catch people's imagination and excitement. Products and companies come onto the market. This isn't meant to brag - only to point out the non-obvious conclusion! One company has come and stayed and enabled many to follow due to their completely open nature - writing articles and books, creating association file formats and putting information into the public domain. Nevertheless, I do indeed think it is WORTHWHILE to point out the non-obvious conclusion of this thread - that there have been many many many companies that have come and gone - some with really cool products including the most recent presented here (including Sonovision). And I think the history is important to understand because people coming to PL even over the past 10 years won't know these things. Here we have what is in essence a "history" thread. And Andy also didn't have a mention of Laser Media "Level 3" digitizing system which might have been among the first. Laser Fantasy also had an Amiga-based computer system originally called "Rainbow", which I believe was developed after LGRASS. And Andy had no mention of LGRASS (the Laser Graphics Symbiosis System) by Aura Technologies which came out around the same time. Pangolin's Laser Show Designer 256 for the Amiga appeared in 1986, not the date Andy mentioned. Indeed, my post did correct dates and add information. Steve understood that the point wasn't to brag because Steve's been around long enough to know the long history and understand the relative contribution of each one of these players. I weighted myself this morning and ended up gaining 1.5 lbs.The point wasn't to "brag" about anything. I bought up the calories to 3268 and never got the chance to accurately test it because I ended up missing two cardio days along with three of my 20 minute walks during the week. I do quite a bit in the form of cardio (30 min- 3x per wk, high intensity and about an hours total of walking per day) so I thought that might be the problem. I brought it up to 3050 and still nothing. I just can't seem to get it right, though!īefore, I had the calories set at about 2800 per day and I ended up loosing half a pound. I've been weight training for about a month now and trying to adjust my calories to meet a 0.5 lb per week gain goal. I have a quick question about my calories that I'm hoping some of you may be able to answer. Playing yo-yo with the calories- Some help please?
