and run the HD image in WinUAE. "Version" and "Version workbench.library" both report the same versions on both systems.

I'm getting very puzzled by this error message I'm getting on a WinUAE-emulated Amiga 1200, on every boot. It's coming from the MenuTool item in WBStartup (AutoArrangeItems generates a similar error) Anybody any idea what's going on? #Amiga #CommodoreAmiga #Retrocomputing

[Richard Downer @FrontierTown]

It seems that the Workbench ARexx port is rejecting the "MENU ADD" command. The install is Hyperion's AmigaOS 3.2 patched up to 3.2.2.1. The Amiga install I use on my PiStorm'ed A1200 doesn't show this error, and neither does it if I move the SD card onto my PC (more)

I'd sworn off Twitter after you-know-who, but I think I'll come back for the next 6 weeks - I think it's going to be very entertaining... plus I've not heard enough of @IanDunt's brilliantly pithy comments this year #GeneralElection

@LushaData I receive an email from you saying you are processing my personal data. I put the same email address into your subject access request form, follow the procedure, and I am told that you cannot respond as you are not processing my personal data. So which is true?

Hey guys, things are potentially looking kinda dire over here. Depending on how things go, I might be in for the world’s worst Valentine’s Day. Please subscribe if you can or up your subscription if you’re able. It’d mean the world to me and my family. ❤️

People often ask me why don't I just post my stuff on Facebook or instagram, anymore. Well, here's a short history of what brought me to Tinyview! Please subscribe or upgrade your subscription if you're able! Every bit helps! 🙏❤️ https://t.co/7oPZ7OAaPd

Please improve on this design - the amount and strength of the glue is unnecessary. Our family's other advent calendars don't glue the plastic at all, I just break the cardboard and the two parts separate easily for recycling.

[Richard Downer @FrontierTown]

Very difficult to recycle the @smiggle_ advent calendar - lots of strong glue used to stick the cardboard outer to the plastic inner, very difficult to separate for recycling, so unfortunately it's probably going to have to go to landfill.

[Richard Downer @FrontierTown]

I'm out. I'm following your advertisers out the door.
