Sorry but I'm in the habit of calling OS 3.0 & OS 3.1 the same thing as kickstart... :)

Reckon myself 3.0 will lead the way as a lot of folk never got round to upgrading the ROMS to 3.1... :)

OS2.4? There was no OS2.4, only OS2.0x and OS2.1 (and Kickstart 2.0x, x=0,4,5).


I know, made a typo and it's been years since I last used 2.04 on my old A1500, can't change it now though... :o

Just dug out my old OS 2.04 floppies, so OS 2.04 did exist...

Thought I was losing my memory for a moment there... :)

@ ElPolloDiabl

What's there to discuss about UAE that would be interesting... :confused:

3.1 here, with some carefully picked add-ons which make it more functional than 3.9 and yet faster. 3.9 is a piece of bloatware in my opinion, the closest thing to Windows to be found on an Amiga :)


WOW... the first person I've found that thinks the same about OS 3.9 as I do... :)

Cheers... Made my day that has... :)

Hmm... I am flabbergasted. If you treat Kickstart as the same thing as OS 3.0 & OS 3.1, then what option should you choose having ROM 3.1 and running OS 3.9 on it?


Not quite sure what you mean !!! :confused:

Although you can use the WB 3.1 disks with 3.0 Roms (be it with a few problems) I tried OS 3.9 a couple of times but gave up and went back to 3.5, to me 3.9 is 3.9 just like 3.1 is 3.1, you really need 3.1 Roms to run them both but if you were using 3.9 you wouldn't say you were using 3.1 just because the roms were 3.1 would you...

Hope you can understand what I mean here (cos I don't... :lol:)
 

Sorry to the MorphOS and Aros folks for leaving them out, just that not being a fan or user of either they kinda slipped my mind... :(

4.1 on my AmigaOne XE

3.5 on my A1200

2.1 on my A600 (but you left 2.1 off the options :( )


Seems I left out quite a few options... :(

Look it was around 6 am when I started the thread, I hadn't had anymore than 3 hours sleep in the past 24 hours, have a bad head cold, a dose of the runs (after too many vindaloo's), it's been peeing down and blowing a gale here for the past few days, my kitchen window had blown open and the squirrels had got in and piddled all over the floor, I'd run out of coffee and my medication had worn off... :insane:

So apologies to everyone who feels left out and to the postman who delivered a package to me this morning, for me being a bit grumpy and ranting on at him like a crazed loon cos the package was soaking wet... :o

@ amigadave

First off, I didn't deliberately neglect you or anyone else, read the thread and you shall see my answers to that already.

If you find it annoying then sorry but what my own personal preferences and choices are have nothing whatsoever to do with you. If you don't like what I have to say or take part in polls that I post then just ignore them or start your own polls that you would feel suit your personal choices & opinions better. No one is forcing you to take part in them and no one is forcing you to read my posts. If I see a poll that if feel doesn't include or have an interest for my own choices or preferences then I simply don't take part in it, I certainly don't go whining to the polls creator that they left me out.

There is an option on this site to block or ignore what a particular person posts so perhaps you should put me on that list as others have done, then anything I have to say will not cause offense or upset you.

If other members wish to express their opinions on what they think is the best OS version then that is their own free choice and I'm not complaining that they do so and I'm certainly not responsible for what other members may post.

As for insulting you with my own personal opinions then that really is just pathetic to be perfectly honest with you, I may not like what your opinions are but I don't go on a rant telling you so. If I really did have an issue with you about something you had to say then I would have the decency to PM you about it first. As you chose to take this course of action I am simply responding in kind in this case.

As for taking my 'exclusive polls' elsewhere, let me make this perfectly clear to you, I don't take kindly to someone whom I don't even know telling me what to do in public and in such an offensive manner as you have chosen to do here, so if you would be so kind in future to take up any issues you have with me by PM then I can assure you you will receive from me the reply you deserve.

As for why you have chosen to do this I have no idea, but I consider myself a very reasonable and carefree type of person so if you wish to discuss this further in a more civil manner then feel free to PM me, if not then so be it. I wont be putting you on my ignore list but shall read your future posts but choose not respond to them in any way if this is the kind of silly & childish attitude which you have displayed here is all you have to say in future.

Yours Sincerely

Frank Spiers

Depends on how you look at the question.

Current usage ... I use OS4.1 the most.

If I look at this question as which Amiga OS did I use most since 1985:
1st place goes to OS 3.1 on my A2000HD
2nd place would probably go to OS 1.3, the original OS on my A2000HD
3nd place goes to OS 4.0 on my MicroA1
4rd place goes to OS 4.1 on my MicroA1

Never thought such a simple wee question could cause so much confusion or upset...:)

The way I meant the question to be was quite simply which amongst folk who answered the question is the OS system that you use on your Amiga the most. :)

Seems though it got a wee bit confused somewhere along the way, but you are asked when placing a poll to keep the title and options brief and are limited to 10 options. Now if the limit was raised to say around 200 options then I'm sure I could include everyone and their auntie in future polls... :)

(or maybe it's my Scottish accent that no-one can understand... :lol: )

As a moderator, I can add MorphOS and AROS as options to the poll (since you've only used 8 of the 10 possible options), if you wish. It's your poll/thread, so your choice.


Wow... didn't realise you could do that, cheers Karlos... :)

Might be a wee bit too late now as the polls closed and I'd probably get more flack from folk who wanted to vote that way in the first place and who then chose something else...

If you'd care to change it then feel free to do so, maybe best just to consign this one to the archives though... :)

@ Karlos
Cheers, got me flak jacket on and taken a double dose of medication just in case... :lol:

@ Tone007
I was just wondering Tone, when you stand next to that lovely classic little Beetle of yours, does your head disappear... :lol:

(better retreat to me bunker now...) ;)

Nah, I took a shaver to the sides, now my hair is a very noticeable two tone.

I'd have to agree.

GIVE ME CELEBRITIES, I WILL CUT THEM UP AND BUILD MYSELF OUT OF THEM.


I agree with Tension about the Derrin Brown, just when I came across the Eddie Izzard pic with that haircut, beard and tash Tone007 spang to mind...:)

(wonder what other celebs we can find to donate to Tone's new project... :lol:)

On a side note, just before I logged in I was looking around ebay and spotted an old iMacG5 going for £250, dunno why but I ended up bidding on it and got it for £325 + £25 delivery, then I noticed the seller only live 7 miles away from me, crazy thing is he won't let me pick it up and insists on posting it and I should get it by Thursday, Gawd I could be their and back in less than 20 minutes, crazy or what... :)
