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
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

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.
I'm out. I'm following your advertisers out the door.
I can be found on Mastodon at mastodon.scot/@richarddowner
