AmigaOS 4.1 Update 5 CD for the AmigaONE X1000 "First Contact" system has gone GOLD!

[Karlos]

Again with the "GONE GOLD", as if OS4 has sold over 500,000 copies.

Sorry, you are thinking of an unrelated definition. This isn't the music industry.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle

Sounds like somebody is deliberately confusing it with the term "gone live" which actually is used in the world of professional software development

That somebody would be Apple:

This is Amiga.org. It thrives on negativity towards anything at all to do with OS4, simple as that.

That's entirely unfair. There are literally a handful of people that this statement could be used to describe.

[Karlos]

I could even call my MacMini/MorphOS system an "Amiga", although I don't, since it was a long time the trade mark lost its meaning to me

It seems that you forgot to tell it to your signature :quickdraw:

People can say whatever they like, but bottom line the machine depicted in the image below is the new Amiga, no "quotation" marks necessary:

Meanwhile, on topic...

[Karlos]

I just wonder wonder why even mention MorphOS in this thread??

Nice try, but as you can see...

Ok, tell you what. The next off-topic post earns the poster an immediate permanent ban. How's about that?
PS: Only kidding. Could you imagine if I was really like that?

[Karlos]

ME ME ME!   :roflmao:

Morphos rules! *WHOOP!* *WHOOP!* *WHOOP!*

I know I wasn't entirely serious when I said the next off-topic post gets a ban, but don't push it, young man.

PS i think the whole red vs blue war is dumb.

Well, we certainly agree on that much. Sometimes it's like watching historical re-enactments of old battles, except that the participants don't seem to remember it's only a hobby.

[Karlos]

The port of AmigaOS4.1.x to the X1000 is ready.

/thread.

Your statement that any web browser on OS4 these days is "perfectly good and capable" is nonsense, sorry.

I cannot even check my Gmail on my SAM with modern OS4 web browsers without them locking up entirely, leaving me grabbing for my bloody iPad.  This is fact.  Period.  I cannot do what I can on my 3 year old iphone 3 on this "modern web browser" machine. The thing can't even do GMail/Google services reliably.

I'm a big fan of OS4, a real big fan - but let's not start spreading the horse****e so thin it's transparent.  I've often advocated people looking into OS4 machines, but never under the guise it'll be a "daily driver" machine.  It's nowhere near there.

Erm, something tells me that perhaps the problem isn't specifically down OS4 or it's port of OWB.

As you can see, it works just fine here. I'm posting the screenshot from it now. And that's from an A1XE, which everybody knows are far and away the flakiest machines...

Just relating my experience with OS4 browsers - YMMV

Perhaps, but you stated it in a manner when replying to the guy that made it seem as if it was a universal truth and not just your experience.

As you can see, no problems using google docs here. Whilst it's not the snappiest experience I've ever had (chrome's v8 javascript engine spoils you), it's still perfectly usable.

Context is everything. The Sam440ep is a significant step down in performance from an 800MHz G4 based A1, which in turn is, in all likelihood an equally significant step down from one core of the PA6T.

To say that OS4 on the 440 is a bit too underpowered to run google docs is probably a fair comment. These applications are very Javascript heavy and modern browser implementations on other systems have much better JS runtimes than anything in Amigaland. To say that OS4 with "a modern browser" is incapable of running these services with any reliability at all, however, is not.

[Karlos]

All I stated is that the browsers for OS 4.1 have issues with modern web demands.  I try and use such sites, the system locks up entirely 95% of the time.  I could give you a list the length of your arm of sites that simply do not work with the browsers available for OS 4.

Well, anything using flash or HTML5 media is presently out of the question, sure. The former is probably going to stay that way, but with any luck, support for the latter will come. Fab's excellent OWB for MorphOS has supported it for some time already, one can hope that those features will find their way into the OS4 port eventually.

If I have missed a step in how these browsers perform optimally (or work on a wider variety of sites), or if they require additional packages to work properly, I've missed mention of them in any docs, and I assure you I've looked 1000 times, lol.  Fresh install of OS, fresh install of browser, same thing.

I don't know. Which browser are you using, for starters?
