"I am sadly not experienced with programming, so i cannot help at all."

Sadly, I do have some programming experience, but totally unrelated to Amiga programming (no, not Windows programming either). I think many people just don't have the time to first learn GCC, then learn browser programming. Even if enough people start programming, it will still not be ready until mid-2005 and you probably need a super-fast Amiga or A1 to use it.

It is tragic, but I think the Amiga will finally "hit the wall" technologically in 2005. Besides the fact that more and more websites can't be displayed properly or accessed from AWeb/IBrowse, there are stupid new anti-SPAM measures have been blocking emails sent from YAM. Then there's the EXTREMELY annoying fact that everyone wants documents in Microsoft doc format and there's no Open Office-like equivalent on the Amiga. (of course, there's always the games...)

In 2005, I'll finally get a Mac and sadly pack away my old Amiga.

Yes, you're right. Thanks for the info. The minimum requirements are monsterous though (well..for me): 48MB RAM, graphics card, 68040 - and that's probably just to have it barely working. That is beyond what I consider "classic" Amiga. So I guess I mean "classic" (but accelerated) Amiga will finally hit the wall in 2005. Maybe the monster "franken-Amigas" with 128MB RAM, graphics cards and 75Mhz 060's or PPC will live for a year or two. (..if somebody helps with AWeb)

"if they all worked on 1 browser maybe the Amiga would have a shot.."

Good point. I have thought of this myself over the years.

I wish people could just work on one Amiga OS! Some programs are written for 3.1+, some for 3.5/3.9 only, some only work on the new 4.0 and some only MorphOS!
