Hi
MorphOS comes with a PPC Native Voyager web browser, which is VERY fast, and iBrowse and AWeb also work well.
, write the occasional (sp?) document, paper or essay
The Papyrus Office package is on the way to MorphOS from Titan computer, but in the meantime, the Amiga Final Writer works fine under MorphOS, and apparently so does Wordworth (although I haven't tried it myself).
and take shots with a digital camera.
I plug my camera into the USB port, Poseidon detects it and mounts it as a Mass storage device, then I drag my pictures on to the hard drive. Really easy. MorphOS includes full version of Poseidon.
Take for example games. I got a lot of my Amiga games ADF'd so I can play them on my PC. Are there an emulator on MorphOS that can play these games too?
Sure. There is a MorphOS port of UAE so you can play the older games, and many newer games like Heretic2, Wipeout 2097, Quake2 and so on, run directly in MorphOS itself, thanks to the WarpOS compatibility
Also there is a growing number of MorphOS games that were never released for Amiga.
Or is one under development? All I've heard about is how good it emulates programs like ImageFX. Indeed, that is programs I use too but I still like to play the occasional game now and then.
Me too
I spent loads of time playing Arcade games in Mame (Metal slug X, Marvel vs Capcom etc), and of course tranquilising birds in Birdie Shoot.
And hows the Webbrowsing? Any problems? Sites that doesn't work etc?
Well, it's pretty much the same as on the classic Amigas, as the same browsers are available on MorphOS. Only difference is that its much much faster (especially Voyager).
Any ICQ clone that works on MorphOS?
Sure, there is STRICQ - the url is
www.stricq.com, but it's offline at the moment due to a lightning strike
If anyone could fill me in on these things I'd be most happy. I've been thinking of getting myself a Pegasos for a while now but can't really decide. But with the superbundle coming together and all the other nice thingies and stuff that appeals me draws me closer and closer to one.
Well, I can't tell you to get one, but I can say that my I love my pegasos, and really enjoy using it. When I first got it, it was the same feeling I had when I got my first Amiga all those years ago - no PC or Mac has the same effect.
