I also vote for OS3.9.  It offers much more.  I always get a chuckle out of the people who want to use 3.0/3.1 because of it being faster.  If you want a really fast booting system just go back a little farther and get a C-64.  It boots instantly to basic upon power-up.  I really believe it is for the good of the Amiga community to standardize things and get everyone using 3.9.  Then we are all on the same page.

I agree!  But let's not stop there, I would like to see work started on moving 3.9 forward again, because with the state of the lawsuit, who knows if or when work on OS4 will produce anything that will make us want to put 3.9 to rest and move on.

Even then, there will always be those few of us (like me) that want to use the Classic Amiga hardware to its fullest and for as long as it keeps booting.

If someone more capable than I would organize picking up where others stopped with development on AmigaOS3.9 Boing Bag 3 and go forward, I would be willing to do anything I can do to help.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

AmigaKit!

They are the best of the remaining Amiga shops.  Support them, so they may remain in business.
