Good to see a fellow Sydney sider here . Im part of the save Amiga foundation . Ive learnt very quickly that posting here will not achieve anything , it just turns into a bit of a shaitfight . I preach my Amiga religion to everyone around me !  The main thing that will bring the Amiga back is people . It was the peoples computer and shall remain so . Im looking forward to having a nice big fat pay cheque shortly to buy a complete system from Amiga kit shortly   :-D .

David Childs really made a mess of freedom tower IMO, which version of the freedom tower are we talking? There are literally about 5 that were at any one time ... getting built. Daniel's designs I think were better and more integrated but we will have to wait and see whether the Childs/Silverstein inspired vision getting built looks any good. Still some of the treatments for the podiums look quite interesting.


I'm thinking of the one with the main tower as a twisted obelisk shape that looks like one of the old WTC towers if you view it from the right angle. The concept images were ridiculously shiny!

Yeah cool, I can see the twisting obelisk thing you mention, it probably has to do more with the reflectivtity of renderings though, I have a habit of overdoing things with mirrored surfaces, The 'box' is actually a combination of polished metal and transparent highly reflective purple plastics.

I modified the notebooks and I have some new ones that include workstations, desktops, notebooks and a supercomputer housing. I am on a bit of a computer styling mission atm. I'll post em later. Thanks for the feedback.

Just to say those are amazing pictures you have done.  :-o
I love the mouse, looks very Amiga like (A500 Amiga like)
and the thin laptop looks great, very modern.
