(RFD) Amiga.org's future

Amiga OS 4, MorphOS and AROS users all have CSS capable browsers. IIRC, there is an older version of OWB compiled for 68k machines. The source code for Netsurf and OWB are both publicly available. If these aren't good enough, the source to Singular, a CSS capable browser for the C64 is also available. If there are enough classic users who browse the web with their machines, surely someone will step up and make it happen?

I'd personally have no problem with you switching to using CSS, but then, I'm an Amiga OS 4.1 user. It is also possible to make a CSS site readable and functional on non-CSS browsers, albeit a bit ugly.

Current version of OWB for 68k is just unusable. No GUI at all, url must be given in command line, and what's worst, rendering one page can take roughly 10 minutes on overclocked 060. GUI can be improved, but for bloated not so cleverly written engines you probably can't do much. They simply aren't designed for low end cpu:s.

The speed of the OS4 version has improved a lot since the 68k port was made. I wouldn't dismiss it just yet.

I come to this site, to see if there has been any progress in releasing a native Amiga computer or progress toward letting OS4 run on other computers (if nobody wants to make hardware for the Amiga, anymore).

You're a bit out of date with your information on Amiga OS 4. New hardware is being manufactured by Acube. There are also various dealers such as AmigaKit from which these systems can be purchased.
