[comp.sys.amiga] Technical discussion?

What happened to all the technical discussion in this group? I know we've
lost a lot of news in the past few weeks (someone up the line is rejecting
massive numbers of articles), but if what I *have* seen lately is
representative everyone's talking about bad disks, keyed drive connectors,
and what games don't run on a 68020.

To open things up... I just received the Autodocs, and there seem to be gaps.
I can't point to anything right now... I haven't done anything much on this
machine in a few days and I can't remember what it was that struck me as
odd, and a quick perusal in "InfoMinder README" hasn't turned up anything...
that program badly needs an index, by the way. Has anyone else gotten this
impression?

As a suggestion for a future version of the Amiga system software, how about
making as much as possible of the system go through set-functionable vectors
and use system defaults... so long as the performance penalty is minor, of
course? Hand in hand with this, providing a better behaved way of setting the
workbench font would be nice... something that the title bar and string gadgets
would respect.

While I'm wishing, how about making use of the collision-detection hardware for
vsprites (please)?
