Ok, I had a question about something I read in an other thread the post was regarding AROS UAE and the whole 68k intrigration thingy.  Matt gave an explination as that AROS is going to use UAE as a service, I think.  Then there was the usual blow up on how horriable that was and how it should be done "their" way and then how that wouldn't work etc.  I dont' want to start that again PLEASE.  But I am curious about the way Matt was explaining how they were going to do it.  Can someone please give a deeper explaniation on how that is going to work.  Do you still need Amiga roms?  What does AROS get by doing it this way vs. other ways.  What does AROS not get by doing it this way.  Also am I the only who missed someone posting that AROS supports PNG icons now?  Is this true?   Want to see a screenshot, please, please...

Thanks Matt!  I really appricate it.  I actually understand what they are going to do.  It sounds fine to me.  If nothing else it will give AROS something most other "hobby" oses don't have.  Software!

Don't know if you are following this thread anymore but I did have an other question.  We all know that the Amiga 68k did not have memory protection.  My question is this.  In the way that AROS is going to handle running Amiga software via UAE does each programing running in UAE get its own memory space or do they share?  Basicly I am curious to find out, If I am running 2 Amiga programs under UAE on AROS and one crases does it take the other Amiga program down with it?

Memory is cheap.
