Well, apart from the fact that it's infected (which does happen to sites from time to time, but as orb says he mentioned it before) it makes me question how well it's monitored..


It's updated often enough with developer file links to Aminet. Making a site virus and hack proof isn't easy. Some anti-virus software gives virus warnings long after the virus is removed, too. The Amiga is immune to the viruses.

But apart from that, I just went there with AWeb..
It renders OK..  Better than some sites...
Still a bit slow..


Turn off background loading to speed rendering. If you have to have the background then consider a patch for exec.library/CopyMem() as that is what is used to copy the background to the window before rendering over it. My CopyMem patch for the 68060 and 68040 gives about a 35% and 40% speedup over AmigaOS 3.9 respectfully...

Sorry, I don't have a 68020/68030 version but there are older patches that probably give an acceptable speed up.

I really don't see a problem with wanting a site that has fewer features / bells & whistles that works well on Classic Amigas..


I thought UtilityBase already lacked most of the bells and whistles and worked well on old browsers. UtilityBase seems to be a nice cross Amiga platform developer site without the red vs blue wars. It could be a little more used though. There is also the EAB developer forum that is pretty active and works ok with old browsers. Nice atmosphere but maybe geared more for retro classic programming.
