Well, I'm surprised anything is happening, but I'd rather have an official announcement of some sort.  It hardly costs anything to maintain a web page.

From the AmigaWorld article:  "Since you weren't at the show you don't get any more details than that so next time make sure to show up."

Gee, thanks.  Why do Amiga fans still seem to think keeping everything under wraps is a good thing?  Not a peep from Amiga (officially) for months and people are still excited.

AGG in the video is impressive :-O

I agree with Cymric.  I'd be more impressed if, at least, Amiga was doing it, but you can get AGG for any platform already.  It's like all the Java apps Amiga bundled with the SDK.  Hey, Java isn't available for the PC or Linux, is it?

I wanna see something Amiga has done, not standard demos that have been ported from other platforms.

bootdelay was 3-4 sec, and OS selection 20 sec

On my Win2000 system, I get a bootdelay of 10 sec, and Windows boots in 43 seconds.  Of course, I'm running MySQL, Apache, and various other dev tools.  If I turn all that stuff off, it boots in 18 seconds -- with Norton Antivirus.  ;-)

Really, I don't care how fast it boots.  An extra 5 seconds won't kill me.  I care how well it runs.

I don't what Microsoft's problem is, but Apple have neglected the Finder shamefully. They're not small companies - you'd think they could get FTP right!

"Ordinary" people don't use FTP, so the big boys could care less...

...and the small boys can't afford to do it well...

...so you end up having to use 3rd party tools no matter what.   Unless you *really* enjoy using command-line FTP.  :-)

Right now I am online with my A1, using Ibrowse (full 68k version) with a DSL connection.

That browser doesn't have CSS support, does it?  It's easy for a browser to be fast if it only supports rock-bottom standards.

Try running Voyager on the QNX demo floppy.  It's only 400K and fast as hell even with a flat-mode VGA driver with no hardware acceleration.  Of course, it also has no features at all.  :-)
