Re: Dink on Amiga
Awesome! (with a low voice, not high... for some random reason) 
You're the man beuc! Thank's to you we've got lot's of non-windows using dinkers recently. Keep up the good work 
Awww, I thought it might run on my A600HD with 6MB RAM. 
Seemingly not.

Linux already works on the PS3 (unless you updated of course).
Woot, you're saying that I'm ALREADY CAPABLE TO PLAY DINK ON MY PS3? *Moar caps!*
Unless you updated. Sony took out the "Install Other OS" feature recently because they are arseholes. Otherwise look up YDL.
Though in the time and effort and prerequisites (HDTV or PC monitor) it takes to install you'd probably better off playing it on your personal computer.

If it's for the new Amiga OS, it doesn't count. Heck, that stuff's practically Linux (or at least, a lot of FOSS will run on it).
I expect people to port it to Workbench!

Don't worry, there's a hack that puts the functionality back in, even with the latest update.
"I expect people to port it to Workbench!"
I know very little about Amiga... but all I know is that Workbench is a very important aspect of the OS. Most emulators won't run Amiga apps without a working copy.
Does anyone still even use the old Amiga?

Well, Workbench IS the OS pretty much. That is, the graphical part of it where you can open disks, files etcetera. And some apps rely on it (but many games actually don't).
A bit like Explorer on Windows?
No, a bit like Windows' entire GUI. Before Workbench, you will already have loaded the most important bits so you can start many games at that point directly through the Amiga hardware, but if you don't, you end up with an "insert disk" icon and not any kind of operating system. From there you could either load Workbench or a game disk.
You can't really compare IBM PCs (and equivalent) computers with family computers of the 1980's. A lot of those computers contained the operating system in ROM, and none had dedicated hard disk drives. You didn't require a workbench disk to run every program. Only some.
