Aos 3 -> aos 4

[smerf]

It's AOS4 that's holding me back from using AOS4...

Reason being after having bought OS4.0 to run on my BlizzardPPC 240Mhz it was slower than a dead donkey with arthritis and three of it's legs missing...

Believe me it does hurt... especially your wallet... just remember you need a PPC board and GFX card for OS4.X to be of any use and the vast majority of Amiga users don't own these things...

Hi,

@Franko,

Heck I will go one better, OS 4.1 is slower then a dead snail with it's slime missing. It multi-tasks like a 1987 MAC, and is actually worse than Windows 3.1, and you are right, you need a PPC board (which I have) and a graphics card (still looking) so if anyone has a bvision graphics card out there that they want to get rid of like super cheap, let me know.

@ All

Ach fur gawds sake geeza brek wid ye... :furious:

I dunno, I pop out into the real world for just one day (and yes it's still there, just outside me front door) and come back to find World War OS 3 Vs 4 has broken out...

Calm down ladies & gents, take a long slow deep breath and hold it for about 2 day's and you'll find all is right with the world and fairies do exist...

You'd never catch me getting involved in such childish and silly arguments... no siree, not me, never...

(I usually just start them and then bugger off and watch the fur fly with a nice bag of popcorn, pancakes & Pepsi (Don't like Coke... Pepsi rulez ...

PS: Me dog just died (yet again) I demand a refund...

Oh look a nice shiny silver teaspoon... where me polish... my bum just fell off... 2 plus 2 makes a boiled egg... waaay down upon the swanee river... I did it myyyyy waaaaaaay...

Hi,

@Franko,

There ain't no war, OS 3.0 rulz over OS 4, it is faster, it multi-tasks better, and is just plain usable. Been playing with OS 4 now for 3 days and soliton works as long as I don't try to play a mod or music. OS 3.? plays megaball and OS4.0 don't. As far as I am concerned the war is over OS 3.? is still the reining champion.

We definitely know fairies exist, look at all the people on Amiga.org and some of these people we wish would hold there breath forever.

Yes we know you don't argue at all just don't hold your breath on this one

You make me jealous pancakes, I can only have one with sugar free syrup, but I love diet pepsi and like you said pepsi rulez.

Hey if you have such good luck with dogs, I have one to send you, he is a little jack russel, loves to play, and play and play and play, and if you don't play, he loves to nip, steal your stuff, nip and steal your stuff, and if you don't catch him when he steals your stuff, he loves to chew.

you did it your way, What did you do? FART

Thanks Kesa.

Iggy sez ==>I don't even remember advocating moving from OS3 to MOS. I just responded to some negative comments.

smerf sez ==> He is getting so bad on MOS that he doesn't even really notice. (maybe time for meds).





Iggy sez ==> As far as I'm concerned you can use whatever you want.

smerf sez ==> As long as it is MOS on a MAC



Iggy sez ==> Just don't make statement you're not willing to back up, then whine that the moderators aren't cutting other people off when they disagree with you.
That's childish.

smerf sez ==> a lot of people accuse me of backing up to hard  and being a hard head.

Iggy sez ==> I really did hit the sack right after my last post.

smerf sez ==> Thank God for small miracles

Iggy sez ==.I've got to check out theOS3>MOS thread.

smerf sez ==> Oh no he's back and here we go again.

Iggy sez ==> There's probably something there to get bent about.

smerf sez ==> Here is the kicker, wait till he reads this.

Have a nice day Iggy

We couldn't do that to you OS 4.X is to horrible for anyone.

Maybe we could hook up magnetic to 4.X

I haven't used OS 4.0 Classic so I wouldn't know but from what I've read lots of people was dissapointed and that's a shame, really. Hmm... What about giving it another try then? Like I said I'm happy with it on my amigaone and people seems to be enjoying it on their SAMs.

Hi,

@HotRod,

I have a classic Amiga 1200, no graphics card, so I am stuck running OS 4.1 on it in AGA mode. I also have a Blizzard PPC 240 mhz for OS 4.1. which takes approximately 2 and one half minutes to load up almost 1 minute slower than windows XP. Now on my A1200 running on OS 3.9 it boots up in 30 seconds and can run Aminet 18 modplayer while I play one of my favorite games Soliton (I pick this game because it is on both OS's) If I try to play Aminet 18 on OS 4.1 the modplayer freezes up the system on loading, but I have mods that I have transferred over and play them on OS 4.1's SimplePlay. Now listening to my mods with SimplePlay and running Soliton is like slow, the system just can't handle it. Constant freeze ups and constant stalling with the cards. I do not have this problem with OS 3.9.
Now I don't know what an AmigaOne can do because I really don't like buying old archaic junk. PPC's to me are old archaic and dead. The reason I have my PPC is because I bought it when I thought the PPC's where going to be the thing of the future for the Amiga back in 1995 (if I remember right) I paid $399 for it at Software Hut. Heck it has been so long I may even be wrong on the price. Then I waited for OS 4.0 to come out, then when it did come out my Amiga was in storage in the Attic, since I had to move to Pennsyltucky with my job. So now that I have it and now that I have used it I am highly disappointed with the PPC's operation, multi-tasking and sound reproduction. As I said I cannot rate the AmigaOne because it to is an orphan computer. I wanted to say dead but some people still have them and use them. Will I put OS 3.0 back on my A1200, for now no, I have my A4000 using OS 3.9, and my A1200 will run OS 4.1 for now, so I can see what it will do.
