To buy or not to buy...

[motorollin]

So it looks like I have 2 options:

1. Get a CSPPC
a. Use OS4 for whatever people use OS4 for
b. Use OS3.9 for games

2. Keep my MKIII
a. Miss out on whatever people use OS4 for
b. Use OS3.9 for games
c. Get an iPhone :-D


So really what I would like to know is this: OS4 users, what do you actually do in OS4? What tasks do you perform in OS4 that you can't do in OS3.9, or perform significantly better in OS4 than they do in OS3.9?

What, the answer to "what do people do in OS4"? Is it "not much"? ;-)

@Fixer
Yes you're right, I did used to own a PegII with MorphOS. And I spent a great deal of time configuring it to look and work just like Workbench :roll: In fact, I used my PegII for playing games (using UAE) and surfing the web (under iBrowse). While it was a fun novelty to have a fast, new Amiga-like system, I soon realised that there was nothing I used the PegII for that I can't do under Workbench 3.9.

@bloodline
I also love AfA. But currently it only seems to offer cosmetic improvements to 3.9. If OS4 will actually allow me to do things I can't do with 3.9 then I will consider the CSPPC.

Thanks for all the responses. I think I've come to the conclusion that OS4 doesn't offer enough to me yet to justify the expense of the upgrade. I just know I'm going to end up feeling disappointed, since as cgutjahr so succinctly put it, I am a retro gamer and hardware fetishist, not someone trying to use my Amiga as my main computer.

Thanks again!
