NO NO NO, I want to go ahead 2 steps not back 10. If Amiga OS looked like that I'd personally kill everyone behind it, with fine china no less!

 You can tell just from the pictures that that GUI has NO functionality.

I always liked how Dopus Magellan looked though, and it did not waste resources. Now imagine that with MorphOS Icons...

...that is how I can only dream OS 4 will some day look like.

Ok so you guys would not mind  if Amiga OS looked like this either then?



I FEAR for the future, we would be the laughing stock of the OS world.

 Oh ya, I love my command line interface just as much as the next person, but I also want a very comfortable, clean, easy, stable, resource friendly user friendly, and responsive GUI that feels like a nice cool breeze, or a good lay if you will. :)

 Of course FULL Screen CLI would be a nice start, I feel you there. Infact I'd like to be able to have mutliple sessions like in Linux, where I can have a CLI session going on, then hit Right Amiga Key + F2 for instance, and flip over to another session which has work bench loaded! :) I really hate Linux man, but some of the features it has are very nice indeed. I do not know if classic CLI had the ability to run multiple commands in the back ground from one terminal window, but that should also be a feature, though I forget how to do that in Linux too. :/

 As far as GUI is concerned, I think BeOS came really close to being the perfect fit for me, except it would flake out every once in a blue moon, and it was in MUCH NEED of Dopus 2! :) I really liked the idea though that I could be converting an MPG to AVI divx 5 for instance, and take and actually MOVE the output file to anther directory or drive, while it was in the process of being created, you could also do the same with downloads as well. It was easy to assign file types to programs, which was always a pain in Linux and Amiga OS, and it seemed like no matter how much I did, it never seemed to slow down, even with only 1 processor and 128 MB RAM. It was ever a thousand times better on my current system with 256 MB RAM and 2 CPU's! :) Having played with Dopus 2 and BeOS I can say I have tasted what the future "could" be like, but fear it will never go, but I can always HOPE can't I. :)

I always wondered what NILL was for in the start up scripts.

Startup scripts, another thing that makes Registery look like crap. :)

The fact that KDE is among the top 2 best Linux desk tops does not say much for Linux at all! Hell you can take Classic Amiga OS, cramm it full of Visual Prefs, MUI, Class Act, blah blah blah, And it will look a thousand times better, be a thousand times faster, a thousand times more responcive, and a hell of a lot less confusing to configure. I wonder where some of you Amiga users really came from, and if it was REALLY from an Amiga back ground. It's just crazy talk man, crazy talk. :)

 Dana you are very purdy.

OSX is kool, but doesn't that still chew up major resources?

iamaboringperson: You still play that too!?!? :)
 Astrosmash was great, I always liked the D&D games on there as well. Some of the newest games that came out ain't to shabby either, there adult porn RPG's but there still kool, and push the system very far.

 Interesting history behind that unit...
