Description
===========
About 1-2 years ago (yr.2000) I started thinking about overclocking my amigas,
but there was no program available to analyise and compare the differences.

So I started to code some litte functions. First I only did different memory things,
testing some different ram-types with these functions. As I used these functions every
day I decided to build a little GUI around them. Then I wanted to know how good
my processor is and how good my drives are. I added more tests...

Soon I noticed that BGUI realy sucks, so I changed the GUI-stuff to MUI.
Again I added more stuff. I saw that this piece of software was growing every day and I
thought that I should make it useable to others. I thought there must be a
way to compare results from different machines and also a way to show them
in a kind of display. So I started to design the module-mechanism and the
colourfull display....

Yea, what to say... end of the story, AmigaMARKS was born :)
