Hmm, I just assumed that those GUI-looking things in the magazine were of WB2.
I am used to Windows screen shots where I usually seen thre apps running wholly
on the Windows desktop.

Gosh, now if only I knew someone with WB2 I could actually *use*.  The Amiga1000
with WB1.3 should be here in a few days...I don't plan to comment so much on
the GUI as I will the great multitasking everyone talks about.  I hope
to be pleasantly surprised.

I saw Skip's WB shots.  I saw sme WB2 shots too.  The WB3 shots look better
than the WB2 ones,IMO.  My machine is in 16 color mode, so that likely
did grave injsut to Skip's 64 and 256 color gifs.  If he could diret me to
a full screen MSDOS .gif viewer that could do this great - my machine is 
capable, after all.

The WB2 shots were low color enough.  Gack, how can you guys stand it?

REgarding the layouts - the WB seems rather simplistic, but agreeable.  The
scrollbars aren't to my liking, still, I prefer the scroll buttons
to be on top AND bottom.  The WB didn't seem as refined as Windows or esp.
OS/2 WPS, but that's my opinion.  I liked Skip's inclusion of MY
desktops in one of Skip's shots.  Cute. :)

From the shots, I'd have to use it for an appreaciable amount of time in at
least 16 colors to pronounce it 'awful' again.

So, Skip, how'd you like MY captures??

Sure, try it.  Go borrow OS/2, pop the first disk into a 386+ machine,
and then the second.  Now hit escape.  You are in OS/2s cmd.exe.  Not
terribly useful, but it's there.  You can even do it from one disk with
a .cmd file.

MultiBus II is still used in Intel multiprocessing systems.
VME still rules the industrial computer market.
All current Suns and Sun clones use S-BUS.

That's a LOT better.  :)  I was in one of my incoherent phases, and
didn't realize until too late (like 20 minutes after I posted it when
I had read what I had written...) that the way I did it depended on
how it was written.  Not exactly coherent of me.  ;)

I find it hard to believe that your Quadra can do 90 fps at 640 x 480 8 bit.
At that size screen you are talking about moving 256k per frame for a full
frame change which is worst case but it does happen. Your 90 frames per sec is
best case if there is a lot of compression. I work on mac's and amiga's and
when the program tells you that you are doing 30 frames a sec it will not
allways give you that output. I can test the amiga easily by recording the
animation onto videotape where I can step through each frame to see if there
are any changes. On the mac you are not as lucky but if you can go to video
tape that will be the real test. I've seen a Quadra running quick time and the
sales guy said it was 30 frames per sec and 24 bit color but when I looked at
the picture it was at best 10 or 12bit color and 8 to 10 frames per sec. I
should know because I have been dealing in animations for the past 5 years and
I can tell 30 frames per second and I have never since any mac that is able or
has the specs to have full frame rate, full screeen animation.

This is very true Marc, Management makes all the difference.  Money
is not even a real question because if this R & D is an investment
with an expected NPV > 0 then it will be easy to find the cash, no matter
what the amount is.  Leave Finance up to the people that know what they
are talking about (I don't claim to, I just claim to know more than you
in this area, :)).  Management needs to motivate the engineers, give them
freedom to create, and actively seek out positive NPV projects. It 
sounds like they may be waking up and doing this.

Probably no more chance of changing his mind then his screens changed your mind.
Any one with half a brain could see this post coming. As if people would get

You already had a preset frame of mind beofre looking at the OS/2 screens that

I just got off the phone with a dealer(Amiga ;) ) in the local area and the
person I spoke with mentioned a UPGRADE policy for current owners of Amiga
computers.  Apparently it is going to be similar to the power-up program they
had to promote the 3000's.  100 bucks off an A1200 for the page from a 2000
and at least 300 off the price of an A4000.  This is the first I've heard of
this policy and it may not be official (NDA), but I'm not covered by an NDA.

I happened to be going through my diary the other day and I came across this
extremely unprophetic statement in the entry for June 28, 1987:

"...some more info from Comdex.  It looks like Irving Gould, the new head man
at CBM, is committedd to the Amiga so I am looking forward to great things."

There goes my career working for the Psychic Hotline.
