The load times are fine for me at the moment, but sometimes it's so bad it times out

Make "Never The Same Color" great again? You must be joking!

I much prefer watching Amiga demoscene productions than playing Amiga games

Were there ever any "high-end" Atari ST prods, like 030 to 060 kinda stuff? The Amiga was blessed with a huge number of impressive such prods, but was the ST? And I don't mean Falcon
I said non-Falcon stuff, sorry
CiH: Thanks for the clarification :) I guess Falcon is like AGA for the Atari ST family of computers.

The Falcon was only superior in the audio department, the system still had 1/64th of the AGA Amiga's true colour palette of 16,777,216 colours, and the chunky mode palette was much lower still
I'm sure there are many stock AGA demos that couldn't be done on a stock Falcon, the graphics on both just work completely differently, they're both good, just... different :)
I always thought that AGA built on the principles of OCS/ECS (vertical sprites, discrete bitplanes, copper, blitter) while simply doubling the bits, although not for the blitter from what I heard. Would it still be an Amiga if a dedicated chunky mode were added to the graphics roster?
I have to agree. The Advanced Amiga would've featured a chunky 24-bit mode and made the Amiga compete with modern tech trends, but the cash-strapped R&D department were constantly thwarted by incompetent Commodore management. Such a shame AA never got released, really.
Paranoid: Well, the DSP, for a start. I stand corrected :)

Question: Is the Amiga double-tick logo valid if the word AMIGA is not italicised?
My tattoo that I had applied today came straight from an official logo, but for some reason the italics aren't as prominent on the skin as in the original. At least the rainbow double-tick is there! :)
I figure as long as the rainbow double tick, colours and font is there, it's fine. Even if it blurs in a few years, it's still a sign of my love for the platform!
Hopefully I'll get my Amiga tattoo by the end of this month
