OS4 Screenshot Running AmIRC

[NeRP]

>86.7MB OS install? Seems excessive.

Quake is installed, and the Quake pak files are rather big...

Pak0 = 18689235 bytes
Pak1 = 34257856 bytes

That's not including the quake executable or any of the other demos I have installed, so that explains almost 53 megs of HD space gone :-)  

Then there is the downloads drawer.... :-)

For everyone else, I want to make it clear that the screenshot was not to demo AmIRC, but to show that the AmigaOne is online and working well via ethernet.

The machine itself is an AmigaOneXE G4, and can be found here:

Someone else mentioned the excessive amount of MUI icons on the Amirc windows.  Yes, I don't like them either, but this is a demo machine, so I leave the system as I got it, no changing anything :-)

You can change these icons now on your Amiga install by going to the MUI prefs, then on the Windows tab.  On the right you will see a heading called "gadgets", that is where you can turn them all on or off.  I prefer to have the one downward pointing triangle gadget only, as it is a pulldown menu that gives you the all the options of all the other gadgets :-)

87 MB isn't that bad when you consider the download folder is full of pr0n

It's all Amiga pr0n, honest!

Well well, if it isn't my good old buddy NeRP! So, that was YOUR machine the shots were taken from?!? The News article doesn't say much about the origins of this screenshot... could ya fill us in on it, and how you got your little hooves on a copy of OS4?!?

Yes, that screenshot was taken from one of the two AmigaOne XE machines that are here at the moment.  

As for the origins of the screenshot, I'm running an alpha release of OS4 for the AmigaOne, and got an alpha ethernet driver from Adam Kowalczyk, and finally got permission from Ben Hermans to post the screenshot

How did I get my hooves on it?  Well first lets establish that it's probably a fact that I have not just a horseshoe up my ass, but a full barn of horses with horseshoes intact :-)

Second, it's important to note that I did not ask for it.  It was offered to me, and after a week of thought I finally decided that maybe I might want to try if I've got enough time and there wasn't anything good to watch on TV :-)  (YEAH RIGHT!)

Right place at the right time, I suppose.

Not that your comment is worth answering, but lets just remember that MorphOS is a clone of AmigaOS, not the other way around.

AmigaOS is not following MorphOS anymore than it is following WindowsXP.

This thread is about AmigaOS, not MorphOS, leave comments like this at the door.
