Short: AmigaOS Idea, Dave Matthews, PNG Pics Author: dm05438@navix.net (Dave Matthews) Uploader: dm05438 navix net (Dave Matthews) Type: pix/wb Architecture: generic This Old Workbench, Episode Five Renovation from the ground up My Ideas for a new Amiga OS This article originally appeared in the December 1996 issue of Amazing Computing, the last real North American Amiga magazine.

I've also included an updated idea for a tower case for the PowerAmiga. This is in no way connected with Viscorp, PIOS, ProDAD, Phase V or any other parties, living or dead, and any resemblance thereof is purely coincidental. All the Workbench "screenshots" were created using Personal Paint, Brilliance, and ADPro, using ideas from Workbench (along with 3rd party Workbench enhancement programs) as a base. The tower design was done in Aladdin4D. Figure2a is a special edition I did for Asha DeVelder, a long time Amiga Artist. You can see some of her work at her Web page: http://www.wco.com/~gbuce/html/asha/asha.html This article, and accompanying illustrations © copyright Dave Matthews 1996. Freely distributable as long as all files remain together. NOTE: Most of the illustrations are in PNG, rather than GIF, because PNG has excellent compression, support for true color images, and is an open and FREELY distributable standard. PNG support is widely available on most platforms, including the Amiga. I hope this is not a problem for people, but I feel the advantages of PNG outweigh the disadvantages. -- _ // David S.
