Thomas Frieden: OS4 Questions and answers

Will there be "Gurus" again?


There bloody better had be.......

Maybe OS4 will never crash  :-)

But I do hope there are Guru's if it does!

As for screen dragging.. It it's too difficult, leave it. This is different from 'screen swapping' though right? I mean, you can change from a screen in, say 800x600 and bring a 1024x768 one to the front like OS3.x ?

It sounds like Amiga floppy access will be left to third party hardware/software. I don't mind this. Can't remember the last time I used a floppy disk. It's just I'm sure many users have a huge floppy disk collection that they'll want to transfer to A1. Personaly, I'll start preparing now and convert my modest disk collection to CD.

Cheers,

Actually, the best way would be to ADF everything onto CD and then use one of the virtual disk apps to use them on the A1.

Yeah, that's the way I'm doing it - ADF to CD. It's so easy with Amiga Explorer from Amiga Forever  :-)

I haven't fully investigated the ADF utilities/Virtual disks etc so a guide would be very usefull for me...Yes, I know I'm lazy  :-P

Cheers,

Yes, support for different screens is an extremely useful feature lackng in all mainstream OSes of today. When users are better informed it may become an important selling point for Amiga.

I agree. It's one of the things I miss most when using Windoze or MacOS. I hope screen switching is fast though. Yep, could be a big selling point.
