Hello,
I have been completely out of touch with the Amiga since about 1996. In the last few months I have been getting back into the world of the Amiga through WinUAE on my PC, having just spent a week imaging my Amiga 1200's hard disk partitions into HDF files. I have also just bough Amiga OS 3.5 from PowerC for a tenner!
Anyway, I was hoping you guys could answer some questions for me...
1. I am starting my catch-up by installing Amiga OS 3.5 (a good place to start hopefully!). I was almost tempted to buy 3.9, but it was over three times the price. In a nutshell, what are the main differences?
2. Any simple advice (ie. from your experiences) for a newbie to 3.5?
3. I have read that internet and e-mail support only just made it into the release of 3.5, and is only very basic anyway. Which third-party browsers and e-mail clients are considered to be the best?
4. Does the Amiga support the playing of high-quality (ie. 192kbps+) MP3 files?
5. Can the Amiga play DivX video?
(in WinUAE I am emulating an A1200 with 060 CPU + FPU, 40MB of RAM, 16MB RTG, 1GB hard disk, and a 3.1 ROM)
Any answers would be appreciated.
Over time I hope to become a useful contributor to these boards and hopefully get to know you all better.
Steve.
