New Screenshots

[bloodline]

I realise that they have been up for a week or so now, but I don't think anyone actually posted that there are a bunch of new screen shots of AROS on the new website:

 Screen Shots Here!!!

sorry if you've already seen them, but they do look really good  :-D


-EDIT-

Um, I guess this follows in the current trend of Useless Posts... Sorry  :-D

Is AROS really worth using ? Or is it still only at 'curiousity' level ?

I'm particularly interested in the Native Version...

Hmm, good question... I find it useful, as I can boot a machine up at work (takes about 20seconds) and then play games. Then I can reboot and go back in the stinky WinNT4 (which is locked so than nothing can be installed, though this is not too dificult to get around  :-D ).

But most of you will probably find it a curiousity, at least until we get a TCP/IP stack for Internet/networking.

I think it's quite pretty to look at too. so I often just leave it running on my machine when people come around, and get a few bemused looks from them (many of whome had an Amiga many years ago).

Off Topic I know... but where can I get those Win32 Amiga pointers from?

BTW where the hell do you live to be able to aford a (lovely clear blue :-D) Pool and a (snoty :-D) little girl (I had better not show my girl friend or she will want both!!!)

The pointers are downloadable on my site, under software, you must have missed the link. :-)

hmmm, I need my eyes tested :-(

She is no longer snotty, was born with glue ear - two operations later - snot free.

Awww, the poor little mite!!! I hope shes all better now. I had a friend born with Glue ear, he couldn't hear a thing as a child.

One day I'll get around to fixing the pool,  internal renovations are taking priority... I'm in NW Kent, on the M25 border.

Ahh Kent... ok. I'd like to get out of the smoky city :-/ I've just moved from Fitzroy Square (next to the BT tower) out to Chiswick which is much nicer.

Correct me if im wrong, but, the new TCP/IP stack done for AmigaO4 i think was done by Olaf Barthel and was done by porting the original BSD sources...

If you'r looking for easily portable stack source, maybe that would be a good place to start?

If it compiles for AmigaOS4, there could be a good change of it compiling under AROS without modification, but you'd prolly know more about that then me .

I believe that AmiTCP has now been chosen as the basis... I'm not sure as I don't get involved with such matters regarding TCP/IP.
 But work has begun of finanly getting it to work.
