15 minutes of web browsing on my Amiga

It looks very impressive!

It was difficult to read all the text on the screen. Can you tell me exactly which version of AmigaOS that is? I think I read 3.9 somewhere, but on the bar at the top it seems to say "??".

Your A2000 seems to have a 68xxx CPU, but the Netsurf browser said it was for AmigaOS 4, although Chris Young commented it's for 3.5 or 3.9.

Of course, there's a school of thought that says there's no need to connect to the Internet on your Amiga, because that's telecommunications, but the Amiga is about creating stuff.

68060, 3.9 with BB 1-4 and many additional customizations.  It confuses the little hack I run to change the title bar.  

There are several ports of NetSurf for classic/68k/3.9, still very alpha.  It's a struggle wrapping my head around all the different versions, but nice to see folks trying to develop a modern browser for our classic systems.  



That is not a "school of thought", dude.  I can't even.  

OK, that explains which OS it is. Netsurf must have been promoting itself for AmigaOS 4 although that version was for OS 3.x

Of course, if an Amiga isn't connected to the Internet, then people will be encouraged to use it for creating stuff. Files from the Internet can be transferred onto it.

You used an interesting O sound in mode and promotion, which I've noticed before. Where is that from? I know you're in Washington DC, but that doesn't mean it comes from there, or how widespread it is.

The OS4 version is a release version.
The OS3 version is an alpha test build only.

To confuse matters more, there is also Artur's version "NetSurf68k", in various flavours which is built on the Framebuffer frontend.
There is also a build of the GTK frontend which runs on OS4 AmiCygnix.

Well that certainly clears up all the confusion.

I have been using my Amigas manly to do graphics, because I realised that I stopped doing graphics when I changed over to using PCs, even with Linux. Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, and even The GIMP are totally useless compared with Deluxe Paint.

I think I might start a YouTube channel in the next couple of days, showing how to do graphics in Deluxe Paint, as well as some graphics I've already done. It may just be graphics I've already done, because I'm not sure where to put the camera while I'm demonstrating how it works.

I use AmigaOS/Workbench 3.1 on an Amiga A1200, because I can't afford an AmigaOS 4.1 computer, but from what I've seen, people use AmigaOS 4.1 mainly for the Internet, instead of for creating graphics, software, or music.

I don't care about playing Doom on AmigaOS. I wish someone would port the original "The Sims" onto AmigaOS/Workbench 3.1. The games leading up to "The Sims", such as "Sim City", "Sim Life" and "Sim Earth" were all released for the Amiga.
