The AmiZilla contest is almost $10,000 US! Programmers and students are hard at work porting this application. To give them more incentive and to push the contest beyond $10K DiscreetFX will be giving away a free product to the donator that gets it over the $10,000 mark. The winner will be able to choose any DiscreetFX product they want for Amiga, MorphOS, Mac OS X or even TriCaster! Any DiscreetFX software product we offer will be available to the winner. The Amiga/MorphOS needs this browser to be successful and more mainstream. An OS without a robust modern browser is like a day without sunshine. AmiZilla website is here.
