  1. Re:How He'll Do It on Opera CEO Prepares to Swim across the Atlantic · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry that the server didn't provide the right mime type. Since it worked out of the box with Adobe plugins and Opera's own SVG implementation I thought it did and didn't think of double-checking.

    Anyway, if you had tried .svg all the time you would've got the same file uncompressed. ;)

    SVGZ is a zipped SVG, not worse. It just saves bandwidth. In this case the size is 1/4 of the original size.

    Well, on the Amiga we had/have 880k available on diskettes (and 1,76mb oon HD-disks of course). In addition with proper software one could achieve up to 960k.

    What Amiga model was that? I never saw this in A500, A1200 nor A4000.

    Maybe it was one of the Atari Amiga models ?

  18. Re:Do we need this?! on PPC Amigas Go On Sale · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The Amiga users have been asking for a PPC Amiga for years. Sure, in the meantime most Amiga applications have been outdated (although not all). In addition it's not that difficult to port stuff to the Amiga either.

    My point here being, if we want a new Amiga can't you just let us have it? I'm starting to get a bit frustrated over all those "Amiga is Dead", "Let it rest in peace" that constantly hits the comment section when something new Amiga-related has arrived.

    Using an Amiga on a 68060 processor is as a matter of fact much more responsive than any Linux or Windows or OSX computer I've used (graphical interface that is). The only ones competitive in speed and fast look'n'feel must be OS9 or BeOS which both are pretty dead. And don't give me the OBOS etc. speach...

  19. Re:GUI on PPC Amigas Go On Sale · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm going to disappoint you, but the GUI _is_ adjustable just like AmigaOS GUI always has been.

    Those screenshots with brown, blue, green and whatnot is the preferences of that specific developer's computer. Actually those screenshots aren't even of an AmigaOne PPC. It's PPC version of Workbench running on a classic 68kAmgia with a PPC-card in it.

    Beware though, according to this interview with Ben Hermans, Hyperion (makers of OS4.x) there will be more Intuition (Workbench) screenshots soon.

  20. 1985 vs. NOW on PPC Amigas Go On Sale · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Strangely enough when you say PC. I think of CGA screens, sounds that go blipp blopp and bad gaming experiences.

    Tha Amiga had 4096 colors right from the beginning although 32 and 16 colours where the most popular ones. The resolution was 320x256 -> 640x512. But that was 1985.

    Nowadays you can use most of the modern add-on cards out there (PCI, AGP etc.), as long as there are drivers for them that is. Not to mention Amithlon that actually runs on x86s.

    FYI: This is the official PPC Amiga (AmigaOne) backed up by Amiga Inc. I'm looking forward to OS4 is finished, the presentation at the WOASE show last weekend was promising.

    And even if the box could run Mac OS X, Apple doesn't allow it as stated in their EULA.

    (There are other PPC based computers claiming to be Amiga-compatible (Pegasos))
