In version 1.2 of Workbench an amusing way of filling in the afternoon was creating two drawers. Then you open both of them. Place each drawer icon in the other drawer. Then if you close both drawers, you will never see either of them again! Has anybody with a 3000 tried this with 2.0. I don't have my amiga handy, but I am pretty sure 1.3 did it as well. Thanks Craig -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Craig Richmond richmo_c@narbelek.cs.uwa.oz.au Why the hell am I putting this here. No one's gonna send me anything! --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It reports that the other drawer (in wich you copied the first one) is in use. You CAN do this in an HD partition, and it will practically hanged the system (infinite loop?). The mouse sprite for instance will be slowed down to an halt. You must reboot. HD validates ok. This is a bug and have been post to commodore.

There is another bug in 1.3, this one a little more nasty. I call it the "Other screen window bug" To activate it, run another screen, go back to workbench and set up a window with a drag bar, or resize gaget on it. Now grab either the resize gadgetor the dragbar. press "amiga+n, or amiga+m", now move the mouse about on the other screen. There is no location checking! Which means that you can make negitave window sizes, or put a window partially off screen (if the system does not crash that is) Proff. /The Force
