- I'll have to agree. MUI is slow on my 28mhz 030 with 6mb, it'd be the best
- way to put people off buying an Amiga if they saw that running on a 2mb 020
- as a demo in a shop. Yeah, okay, put *some* MUI features into ROM, such as
- smooth scroll, the pub screen manager and the title bar button menu thang,
- but hands up who seriously has a need to have a marble button background.
- Hmmmmmm? Gadtools is great when used properly, with cool fonts etc. You want
- proof how bloaty software UI's are? Two letters - PC.
- Mr AT Dude, if you are reading this, MUI is not the way forward.
