The best OS i ever used is the Amiga OS 3.0 and 3.1
The worst OS i ever used is the Amiga OS 3.9 .
I used windows 98, it had its merrits.
I upgraded to windows xp and it works very well. I can't complain very much as it works fine except for a couple of times where it went down with an error "ole error ". What on earth that means, well only those who know can tell.
Ok i use a draco for most of my work. I decided to purchase OS 3.9 to make things better and to my surprise, the amiga OS had never been somthing so stupid to use.
After about 10 or so reinstallations and formating of harddisks i decided to go back to OS 3.1. That worked perfect until about a year or so latter when i had finished edittng a couple of important documentaries. I thought it was the right time to re try the OS 3.9 or else my money would have been a complete waste.
I searched for trouble shootings and found out that some one had configured a workbench 3.9 to work on the draco. I contacted him and he informed of how much it will cost. I seatled him and he send me the cd rom with all the mojos on.
All i had to do, was to insert his cd rom in and follow the instructions. All went fine until i had to remove some of the features that i find unneccesary. F.eg the background in a window is filled with some wierd silva sky image, i could hardly read the text.
This is where my disapointment begun. I follw the way one has to do it as it always has been and it just dos'nt work. There are also so many patches added that you don't know which belongs to which.
The worst of it all is, there is no documentation of those haks and patches. As i use the machine mainly for serious work, i don't have time to fidle with such rubbish which is non productive. I even run the risk of doing something stupid which will force me to format the harddrives. The least is somthing i realy don't hope .
At the moment, if have to read somthing from the diskette, as i often do due to transfering of data from pc to draco. Exspecialy if i rendered images from lightwave on the pc. I will have to insert the diskette in the drive then reboot before it will be readable. This was not the case pre Os 3.9. Imagine rebooting 720 times to load 720 frames of iff images to do acommecial of 30 seconds.
So, now do i have to consider that i upgraded my system or made it worse.
