Hyperion Entertainment unveils dedicated AmigaOS4.0 Website

GREAT SITE!  Hopefully this is a good sign that Hyperion is getting ready to reveal their fantastic product to the public. "When it's done" may finally be just around the corner.

  However, there was one thing I was really disappointed in.  In the "20 features" I thought they were missing one of Amiga's greatest features... AREXX.  Perhaps this is because the future of AREXX is a little uncertain at the moment but it is still a VERY IMPORTANT feature of the OS, part of what makes the OS so great.

   Also, I would like to see an AmigaOS tutorial section for newbies.  There are a lot of great Amiga features that would not be obvious to the AmigaOS newbie such as hidden menus, keyboard shortcuts, keyboard mouse control, the Workbench Startup Drawer, screen dragging, and especially an "Overview of the Enigmatic Program names in the Prefs Drawer."

  Sure there maynot be many AmigaOS4 newbies for a while but a know lots of people who may decide to "demo" AmigaOS by getting WinUAE of AmigaForever and the basics are going to the same.

   Thanks, I missed that.  I have to admit, I was in a rush so I only skimmed through it and did not read all 20 Features thouroughly (I've been using AmigaOS for over 20 yrs so I wasn't looking to be educated).  I was looking for AREXX & must have glanced right by it.  Ooops!  Good to know it's there though.  And it was interesting to find out that it's official that we're moving to Python (last I remembered hearing that was still up in the air)  Not sure what I think about that; I'm not to familiar with using Python.  I liked Rexx though.  I just hope old programs with ARexx ports will be able to easily communicate with new programs with Python ports.


@ anyone

   BTW, what ever happened to SHEEP?  :inquisitive:  Just a question... please don't start a flame war over this.)
