Good News

Ok miker, I am 70 and I too have no shortage of problems, unfortunately some discomfort appears now and then, good thing they are not serious problems at the moment, but when age advances the risks are behind the door !

Good news! I have fully recovered. I should take better care of myself. I'm not as young as I was. I'm almost 60 now. :-)

Anyhow, I've decided to get back into AROS programming by updating the many functions of my Small Scale Picture Viewer. It will be used as the basis for Picture-IT which is a simple picture converter with some additional functionality.

@miker1264 Best wishes for better health to you!

I've been watching some videos about the early days of computers such as the IBM 5150 & 5170 as well as the IBM PC AT/XT. I was also watching one about the early days of the Amiga 1000 with the Loraine prototype with all the breadboards.

Interesting fact, one of the early "super computers" had 16MB RAM with a 10Mhz CPU. It could do 8 MIPs. Nowadays the Pi 3A+ on my PiStorm32 in my Amiga 1200 can do 800 MIPs.

is about health and well Miker

I haven't been very productive lately. I recently hurt my back again. It requires lots of pain medication, lidocaine patches, smelly ointment and electric heating pads. It's not much fun!

Other than health issues, family time, and working two jobs I might actually get something done. Hopefully I can do some programming again within a week.

Ok Miker

No worries. Work continues, although slowly at times due to family, work at home job, and health issues. AROS and Amiga keep me busy.

miker this month I cannot make a donation be patient

Beautiful miker, both images represent beautiful Italy !

This is an application that is part of Picture Tools. It's simply called "PictureIT" which is a picture converter. PictureIT uses picture datatypes.

I've done some initial work but there is still much to do before it is complete.
