Some idea maybe AT and/or other Amiga programmers could look at:

Since it seems a lot of people talk about using Amigas with TVs to surf 
the 'net, there are about three problems: resolution, colors and image 
sizes.  

	First, if you're displaying text on a TV, it can't be 80-column like on 
a computer.  Second, some colours tend to run (try keeping RGB values 
below 230 in NTSC) and finally, with 28.8 modems, some pages I know 
could take near-fowever to load.

	I've come up with four suggestions for this:

	1.	ColorFonts (remember them?), instead of a big graphic, create a tag 
for using ColorFonts, then make 8-12 typefaces in maybe 3-4 sizes a 
standard part of the Amiga.  These fonts could be then loaded of the 
harddrive as needed.  Forget boring blacks & bles on a grey background.

	2.	IFF-ILBM support- for simple images (2-3) bitplanes these could be 
smaller and de-compress faster than GIFs + JPEGs.

	3.	While we're still in 256 (or less) color, how about we try to come 
up with a standard 256col palette, I know this might not work, but it 
could improve the look of graphics that other-wise may be over-dithered.

	4.	Lastly- Remember sound, there must be some good uses for sound FX- 
any ideas?

	I'm currently planning to re-do my Web page in an effort to create a 
"TV-friendly" page, remember TVs are best at displaying moving picture- 
not screens of hi-res text, I think with the idea of designing for the 
TV, we could have some really interesting things appearing.
