That is unfortunate. He has worked hard to offer a good optimized version of
ATI's drivers. I'm sure it is a lot of work, and people are just taking
advantage of the fact that he does all this work for free, and don't care to
donate anything. I used his drivers on and off over the years, and would
donate when I could, usually with every significant release, or a release
that fixed an issue that I had with the official ATI drivers. A few bucks
from everyone who has used his drivers would make his efforts worthwhile.
Anyways, I only say this because I have been down that road before. The
internet is full of 99% greedy people with 1%, or probably less, people who
actually care to pay for something they find useful. Efforts from people
that dedicate their time free of charge, and only hope to break even in the
end. I dedicated hunreds of hours to building a website and adding content,
only to end up in the hole financially because of it.
Well, best of luck to him, and hope things turn around. ATI's drivers have
improved greatly, but Omega drivers always added that little bit of oomph,
or offered a more stable solution.
