Hi Gordon. I've the same as you, an 18mb Amiga, and yes, that's not
enough memory in a lot of cases, including for running the current
Demo/install settup. (New install version due with View 5, so
hopefully it'll be a bit less memory hungry.) REBOL's the first
program that's made me think I really need an extra 16Mbs. That
said, there's still plenty you could do with View on an 18Mb Amiga,
as long as you keep the fancy graphics to a minimum and don't expect
to run too many other programs alongside it.
As to speed, I consider View to be quite fast on my machine, given
it's running on just a 50Mhz 030. In fact I'm as pleased as punch
something as modern and as potentially useful as REBOL's been made
available for the 68k Amigas that there's no way you'll catch me
complaining to RT about its speed on them. I'm just too happy to
have it to play with. (:
