Campaigning for the updating of the Workbench look, a new Queens Bits article traces the look of the Amiga interface from 1.3 to now. Profusely illustrated.
The official newsletter of the Queens Amiga Users Group ceased regular publication in the summer of '99 and there have been precious few articles published in the interim. Advocating a more up-to-date, professional-looking Workbench (along with accompanying OS4 applications), club president and former Queens Bits editor, Lou Vidal, has penned an appeal for a new look in the Amiga interface that can proudly hold its own against all the other OSs out there. Check it out on the QAUG website. Examples illustrating the development of Workbench from 1.3 to the future abound. Also make plans to see the ongoing demos of OS4, various machines, and sundry gadgets & goodies at our August meeting this Saturday, the 14th, starting at 11:30 am. Be there!

Exclusive Online! A New Queens Bits Article! : Comment 37 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Sammy Nordström on 10-Aug-2004 12:24 GMT | In reply to Comment 34 (Emeric SH): I bought HereticII from Hyperion and I'm satisfied with it. Actually, I'm more than just satisfied, I'm quite impressed by the performance they managed to squeeze out of such small print hardware and OS with that game. Furthermore, I'm grateful that they are still around when they could (and should from a business standpoint) left the Amiga and gone for what is actually giving them revenue; the Linux and Mac markets. Spending years on developing an OS for a market that is sure to not provide them with enough revenue to cover the expenses is not something just anybody would do. The fact that they also have made a very good job on AmigaOS4 so far is a neat bonus. They seem very competent with what they do and they have my full confidence. |
