You ask for opinions and 1,000 people will give you 1,001 different answers. ;)  There's Roadshow, which is newer, faster, and still being developed, but personally I prefer the full GUI of Miami. Shame Holger K. had to be such a di#&. Don't forget to add Genesis to your list.

Everybody talking about speed, you know, Miami isn't that slow.  I'm sure if you run a speedtest it'll score lower than Roadshow and the others, but in terms of actual, "real-world" use, on my A2000 with X-Surf 100 and basic 100Mbps connection I can download just about any file on Aminet in a second.  And when browsing the web, Ibrowse takes longer to render the page than it does to download it.  So it's not like Miami's really "that slow", haha.  ;)

No miami is slow.. its like saying zorro2 isnt much slower than zorro3.. its night and day :D  lol

Okay, okay.  Bust my balls already, I was just trying to say "it's not slow like 2400 baud modem slow", hence the liberal sprinkling of quotation marks in my comment.  But I guess maybe to you guys it does seem that slow.  Perhaps I need to work on my euphamisms a bit.  ;)  ....  And often there can be other bottlenecks - like Ibrowse taking longer to render a web page than it does for Miami + my network card to load it.  But then again, it does make a difference what you do with your system - are there really that many people transferring whole movies to their Amiga?  ;)  I would definitely be interested to learn the name of Amiga backup software that works over a network connection?  :)

Yeah yeah, TL;DR.  I gotta try Roadshow one of these days.  In the meantime here's a screenshot of another method of setting the clock via NTP with Miami:

Because my A600HD test machine croaked I will have to test the recent changes to Roadshow on WinUAE, I suppose :(

Somebody get this man a classic system, stat!  ;)

if you start AmiTCP or Miami from the S:User-Startup file they will open splash windows which force the Workbench screen open, and that isn't always helpful.

It's been a while since I started Miami through User-Startup (I normally use WBStartup), but the way I have it configured now the only thing it opens on Workbench is the appicon, so I can quickly access its settings or go online/offline easily (e.g., for some games that don't like having a TCP/IP stack running in the background).

TL;DR.  You can disable the splash screen through settings.  ;)

But we're all super glad that you did. :)

+1 to this.  I don't think Roadshow would meet my needs, but that doesn't mean I don't think it's an awesome program and will definitely check it out on my main Miggy as soon as I get a chance.  Kudos and thanks for all your hard work on it. :)
