What I would really like to see, would be a new enhanced control
panel.
These are some of the things I believe it should have:
1. Monochrome Reverse Screen. Rather than having to move all three
color bars, just press a button.
2. Write Verify on/off selector.
3. Reset Button...have a selector for Warm/Cold start.
4. Corner clock. Simmilar to ALARM CLOCK.ACC which works ANYWHERE and
DOES update every second.
5. Smaller size. (It IS kind of large for what it does.)
6. Remove the INSTALL PRINTER from the desk accessory slot. Instead
take the INSTALL RS-232 and PRINTER and merge them, and have them
be called from buttons on the control panel. (Install Ports)
7. Background style. (Is this possible?)
8. Icon editor/loader built in?
(This is obviously a more unrealistic idea..but what the heck...)
9. Automatic setting of both SYSTEM and KEYBOARD clock when time is
changed.
10.Better time management.
11.Have it display RAM FREE somewhere.
These are ideas that could be implemented NOW, and no need to wait for
additional hardware, or would not take that long a time to impliment for
those who have the source code.

P.s. Why are all these Amiga owners here ready to jump in at any moment
notice? I don't go over to their notes area and bother them, I'd
rather they did not come here. I don't care, and it clutters my
mail.
