So what do you all read?  I know of no Amiga OS 4.1 book other than some wiki material.  Am I just best off finding some used 3.1/3.5/3.9 books, if there are any?

I don't think there's anything much in hardback beyond the First Steps book you had before, I noticed your Amibay sale when searching earlier.

A lot of the features of of newer version were added over time by third party programs that either got rolled into or had their functionality replicated in 3.5 and beyond so many of us simply learned as we went along.

If you need a refresher the 3.1 manuals are the best place to start again.

Also I found this Amiga Format video guide to the basics of Personal Paint.  It might be useful since I think your getting the latest PPaint with your X1000.

I have written book about AmigaOS 4.1 Emulation http://amiga.net.pl/index.php?lng=eng&kwt=2.
Now I'm thinking about something new, connected with X5000. Soon I should have this computer. ;) My plan is to write book abou "AmigaOS 4 everyday". Is it good idea?


I didn't notice that you had a 3.9 manual for sale until today.  Maybe that's a bit closer to what TJ requires and much easier to get hold of than old books.
