AROS vs traditional Amiga vs SAM

Yes. Even easier. For example with Mac OS X you just doubleclick the label and type the new name.



There is nothing for the OS to remember. The filesystem has been relabeled, of course the new name will appear. This works with every OS that has USB, massstorage and FAT support.

I dont find double-clicking the labelname particularly intuitive, and looking from the accidently renamed files/volumes I find on other people's macs, it's not really usefull.

Anyhow... what I really like with amiga systems, is that you can remove a device with programs still open on it, the OS wont panick, nor will it kill the programs or anything other nasty stuff. It will just ask the user to insert the disk/whatever when needed, recognise it and move on. Try that with windows, OSX, linux etc.

Only the AmigaOS designers felt the need for offline filesystems... AROS supports this feature too...

While I miss the feature, which I'm used to from the Amiga days... I'm not sure it's actually a useful feature anymore... and is actually somewhat inconsistent design...

If program is on memory why do the os should care if it is on it's physical location? And while we're here why the hell I'm forbiden to open the same pic on several apps? Evolution?

Different and unrelated issue. You are speaking of "File Locks", I am speaking about off line file systems.

In that case, my ASUS mobos are Amigas. They run AF quiet nicely and it's an official Licensed product of Amiga Inc.

Well the difference is that WinUAE is emulation.. but still, if I had an Amithlon box, I'd probably refer to it as "my Amiga" too.

With all due respect here... but really what makes the difference between emulation and native now...?

I say this as someone who loves to fire up his A500 and marvel at what those Crazy Amiga guys managed back exactly 20 years ago today...

But for serious usage... well you know what I mean :-)

Can you guys please tell me what Amiga's you guys own, Im just curious?

1 A500
2 A600s
1 A1200 + BlizzPPC + BVision
1 A1200 (kept for spare parts)
1 A1000 (in process of restoration)

1 Mini-ITX for use with AROS

UAE on my Macs
WinUAE on my PC

I have noticed that the users on any of the forums that are really proud to be amiga users, have a listing as their signature. So, Does that mean you guys, and people like you, only use your amigas once a week? once a month?

I could be wrong here, but, it is something that I have been noticing.

Cheers.

Last used my Amiga A1200 just under a year a go when doing some music production work at home, to get some dirty 8bit sampling and a few sequences in OctaMed... But by the time I moved the project to the studio I was using UAE on my Mac, for Octamed and did all the rest of the sampling using Logic Pro and the bitcrusher in there...
