Trying to remember what a piece of software I used to use was...

Yeah I remember 'hacks' being kinda cool back in the days of 1.3 where they did a cool thing to your mouse pointer or something and when you hit reset it was gone (always off floppies)

Nowadays what can we do to improve the way we work when the classic OS isn't really being updated any further? (IMO 3.5+ are just a collection of these 'hacks' and other third party products)

I read somewhere that just using the multiple extensions in 1 program were the way to go?  (eg MultiCX I think it's called - I'll have to get back to my Amiga to see what's running now...)

Then again, I'm from a Solaris/Linux background and the gist of most Unix tools is to have a lot of small tools that are very good at 1 thing.

OnTopix:

can anyone give me a quick summary of the state of workbench 'hacks'?

What I mean is, I used to use the ones that gave you a 32 colour cycling mouse cursor and such but then that was in the day when I booted off a single disc and had the wordprocessor (ProWrite anyone? :-)) in the second disc drive in my maxed out 1Mb A500 !

He he - well if you put political icons on Amiga.org some perspective/reality check needs to be brought to bear.
