AmiWest 2012 Specials

Several customers/members of Amiga.org have asked what our AmiWest specials would be. To be honest we hadn't originally planned to have any this year. But to provide good customer service we will have a few until AmiWest 2012 has ended. Some of you know Aladdin 4D 5.x for AmigaOS was offered for the price of a DVD movie before it was discontinued on October 5th, 2012. That offer ended so we can't offer it again but to make customers happy we will be offering Aladdin 4D 5.x for AmigaOS Instant Download for the price of a Bluray movie. If you want to combine a Lifetime Membership to Amiga.org and A4D together you also get the benefits that membership brings and support the Amiga.org site. AmiWest ends on October 21st, 2012 and so do the specials below.

Lamp

Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to Truth as a lamp; hold fast to the truth as a refuge. Look not for a refuge in anyone beside yourselves. And those, who shall be a lamp unto themselves, shall betake themselves to no external refuge, but holding fast to the Truth as their lamp, and holding fast to the Truth as their refuge, they shall reach the topmost height.

Platforms & Future Choices

To help expedite the release of Aladdin 4D 6.0 we are limiting the platforms it supports. We know this will come as bad news to many of its fans on the Amiga but the long release cycle is doing no one any favors. For version 6.0 Aladdin 4D will only be shipping on Mac OS X, iPad and Linux. We are still in the evaluation stage of what platforms version 7.0 will support. It will most defiantly be more than what version 6.0 will offer. Don’t forget to contact us and tell us what platform you want Aladdin 4D to ship on. Your feedback and interest will influence the future direction of the software so don't forget to contact us via the link below. Before the DiscreetFX acquisition Aladdin 4D sold over 18,000 units. We are excited to have it reach those numbers again in the years to come.
