Why Am I excited about Icaros?

Well spoken.  :-)

Thanks paulone for terrific work as usual. This release was the most stable yet. It rearly freezes.

To my great joy i saw on aros exec that craf had tested icaros on a compaq d51s P4 2 ghz. These baby's sail by on the local ebays for between 40-70 euros at least ones a week. I think I will go for one.

@diskdoctor
In one of your first posts you asked if there was something useful that had to be done with programming (if i remember right), so I guess you are a dev. Port Cinnamon to aros or some other word processor. That  would be great. Get hold of a used PC and install icAROS.

@stepcep2
I have seen ppl that use icaros on machines with spec like that but the uae will probably be a bit slow. If you could get hold of the one abowe its warpspeed.

you're free to pursue any project of course.
I think the spreadsheet Ignition is being worked on.

Final Writer 5 can export to rtf, acsii,html and its native format.
Problem is this does not come with icaros. It needs a word processor of it own.

If you  could get icaros going and test it out, inspiration may follow. :-)

That project sounds extremely exiting. How much more good it would do on icaros than on macosx that already have so much.

About final writer, I think its license related.

VMWare is a ideal start. I was running it in vmware for months and occasionally got more and more acquainted with it, and then I finally wanted it on real hardware.

Good luck with the project idea. It would make many ppl very happy I think to have it materializing.  :-)
