Maybe you should go back and read how you posted....
How could they? Amiga OS3.x was out 7 years after Amiga even came to market. OS9 came out almost 15 YEARS after Amiga came out. It's more likely Apple saw how Amiga did it, STOLE it and enhanced it over 8 more years of development cycles.
Eh? System 7 did it the same way and came out in 1991. Even then the main change was to have a dedicated extentions folder, rather than just put the file in "system folder", which is how it worked in 1984.
Fishy_fiz gave a long post on trying to help you... Several other people also offered ideas, some also mentioned AFA_OS which really is a better way to go then the Birdie HACK..
The people trying to help me got buried under Nerdity induced rage, my bad.
That where I posted that it does have outdated ideas i.e. it came out in 1992. The entire Amiga line was only out for 7 years. Mac had those years plus 8 MORE before OS 9.
Actually System 7 pretty much finished the classic mac os. 7.1 - 9.2.2 were really just minor updates and features, and 8.0 had a new appearance hacked in. with a some extensions copied over (no text editing required :lol:) and a Resedit version number hack, system 7 runs anything the later versions do.
People have said over and over Birdie is a HACK, what it does is not even suppose to be possible on Amiga oS3.x, so hence all the issues.
Kaleidoscope is an even bigger hack, again for system 7, yet has no issues barring making the screen flash once when you change theme. I should point out that Kaleidoscope replaces the entire GUI.
It would be like me whining about how it's so HARD to install homebrew apps on my iPod touch. Wah!! I have to jailbreak and blah blah, OH It's so hard!!! On my Android device I can just download apps and install them.
Uhh? You can just download apps and install them on the iPod touch too, what's your point? And Jailbreaking is easy. Run a program on your pc, then hold down some buttons for a bit. Done.
There are plenty of enhancements and commodity tools that work like one would expect. ie. Drag it into the Startup-Folder and it works.
Well good then I should expect nothing less of
AMIGAAAAAAAA!
So, yeah, looks like trolling to me.
That's... not what trolling is. Not even close. Having a differing opinion, and saying it, is not trolling. I mean, unless you work for the Chinese or North Korean governments.
If I was a troll, I'd have probably just signed up, immediately made an inflammatory post, then sat there laughing at the ensuring shitstorm while drinking vimto and wondering when local businesses will start hiring again because savings don't last forever.
I'm not a troll, Because I signed up a while back (and was lurking even when you could actually use an amiga to post here), made this thread to get help, got annoyed at amiga, then sat there annoyed at the ensuring shitstorm while drinking vimto and wondering when local businesses will start hiring again because savings don't last forever.
@Thorham: fair enough.
@Nlandas: Is my mac broke? I've never seen the little box you speak of. I'll look for it next time I boot it up.
