Ben Herman's audio stream from Amiga Expo

Nice to see screen shots will be avaliable round early aprile... Does this mean OS4betas will only be avlalibable in early april? - $#@!, it is april now ... Ok , ignore that!

Any information for an EX amigaian on what Magic Menu and Birdie are?

Just guessing, i guess Magic Menu is a package from MUI? And allows for a pretty menu on your desktop?

Opus Magellan 2 has been licensed for OS4.0.

This is a preplacement for WorkBench isnt it? Or a file manager? Whats the deal.

For the moment, no new printer system, it will
arrive in Boingbag/OS4.1

This means updates will come as patches (i know what boing bag is, but) and by 4.2, 4.5,5.0 all updates will be totaly seemlesly integrated?

Opus Magellan 2...

So whats this? A workbench replacement or filemanager?

Licenenced for OS4

Included in OS4? or developed for OS4 and avaliable if you wanna buy it?

Thanx guys... So at the top of the AmigaOS screen, what you think it will say?

Opus, or workbench...

That is, will Opus be the default workbench, or willthe original workbench be avaliable also?

At the moment, AmigaOS is kinda sounding like a patched up quilt :}.. which depending on how its done, is good or bad. However, i beleive Hyperion will integrate these features so they are core parts of the OS.

But, maybe these features should be uninstallable if one wishes to... Confusing... :}

I just hope all this doesnt slow the system down.

And just a clairifcation, ummm, what was it... Birdie, is kinda like umm... sawfish except it only has to manage the style of the border... This includes the title as well? - Sounds good, hope its integrated well...
