This post just about describes me. I only use windows for my Doom and Media editing needs for the most part.

I have an Aspire One, and while I am growing fond of Aros, I can not deny that MorphOS is light years ahead. And I've also heard that it is snappier than OS 4, but can not confirm this.

Also for the note, there are a slew of classic Amiga apps that run just fine on MorphOS without being bothered by the lameness that is UAE.

Not trying to start a flame war of course, I just want MorphOS' many strengths to be known so more people might give it a look. It's awesome!

Aspire One is a pile of crap, but with AROS, it ain't too shabby. I just to pretend it is not what it really is. :)

And for the note, you can not run Amiga Classic Apps on AROS without UAE. MorphOS on the other hand can handle classic apps just fine, so long as they do not need the original chip set.

Quote from: Iggy;647243
I gave up on Doom after pretty much memorizing the entire layout. I now primarily play with QuakeIII Arena which will run under MorphOS.
About the only thing I miss is good Flash support under OWB.

MorphOS is a fine daily use OS. I have three Windows machines that see very little use.


That's what extended Doom ports are for, they give Doom capabilities it never had before thus making it less predictable and more complex. Also there is a Massive Mod community for it who have converted it into various things such as a Half-Life clone with 3D models and all. I've also ran a few Quake 3 maps on it that worked Exactly like they would have in Q3 itself. You really have no concept of what you are missing! :)

I've never heard of it. What ever became of plain old fashioned HTML anyhow? The internet sux now a days. You got adverts, pop ups, adware, etc. It's like you go to load one page, but your are gathering data from a billion other servers at the same time. I hate it and would gladly go back to the 1994 standard any day...

...with today's speed of course.

As for videos, I'll download them, streaming sux anyhow cause you can't keep what you watch. Meh, tired, must go home and milk the goat.

Where's Franko?! :/
