- no, it takes about a minute or two to boot up workbench 3.0... this is
- not too bad compared to how long it takes to boot up a real amiga from

- don't make stupid assumptions...

- did you try with the -f switch? -f 5 or even -f 10 does miracles

- worked with my 1.3 roms/wb...

- why not? they work perfectly...

- did you even bother to look at the pictures before commenting? there

-
- doomed to be useless? with processors getting bigger and better more
- and more people will be able to run uae at a decent speed... and the
- few of us who already have fast machines can enjoy it today...
- just because _you_ can't use it doesn't mean that other people
- can't,
