Coming back of Nova Coder is indeed a great news, reason more to have a standalone as soon as humanly possible and good enough to go public.I hope he can grasp the understanding that current A500,A600,A2000 or A1000 :-) equipped with a Vampire is exactly a developers system. I would donate 20$ to bounty for Vampire for him or a loan system scheme for current Vampirezided Classic (which needs to be what? Well kept A500 with Vampire and SD Card and a net solution? A Vampire for a skilled coder is far more important then one for "I", so we can all have software that will (ab)use the Vampire. While Vampire is revolutionary product, it has the same "Amiga curse" as our favoured OSs: no software to really prove it :-) I would also opt for "systems of honour" in few years future: community donation of full boards to all existing Amiga developers with idea to give them a option to privately, or if market becomes large enough, publish reworked and upadted, and most important Vampire versions of any of their past, current or future software products. List isnt big, I suppose legaly several entities exist, but as living entities Cineware, members of Hi-Torro team, Grasshoper software, Newtek and couple more companies or surviving individuals would do the treat. On other news, VivA Amiga DVD is coming back from vapourware status, and maybe some extended or next Amiga movie should feature Vampire :-) So would enlist Zack even he was included in Amiga curse for some time, and maybe few more suggestions. So devs first, celebrities second or third :-)
