CSS browsing, and more use of HAM mode for programs and workbench(backdrops). It annoys me that my emulated mac runs in thousands of colours, and my native web browser and desktop do not.

MP3 playing is ok, but eats to many resources. And I miss youtube etc as well.

As for photoshop, I run version 4 (with layers and multiple undo) on my Amytosh ;)

There is NetSurf that supports CSS but it lacks many other features eg. JavaScript.


These are the problems we have today- Ports rather than specially written software. It's nobody's fault, I guess that most of the specialist 68x programers have moved on :(
Now most of the ported software is from more powerfull machines, and tries to pour a quart into a pint pot.

I think Javascript, CSS, and SSL are necesities.

Watch DVDs or Videos.  Encode Video and create DVDs. Watch Video online. Play latest games.........


Well, my A4000t can encode video's, and capture it as well. And big box Amigas have been able to do that since the early nineties. You got me on the DVD and online videos though.

As for the latest games...I don't expect to, but then i'm on classic. I guess if you have one of the newer machines it would be nice.

Latest games for me (on Amiga) are new packs from WHDload :)
