Hello!

I'd like to know why people using AOS 3 doesn't jump on the AOS 4 train? What is holding you back exactly?

Why not give it a try, it won't hurt you :-P


It's AOS4 that's holding me back from using AOS4... ;)

Reason being after having bought OS4.0 to run on my BlizzardPPC 240Mhz it was slower than a dead donkey with arthritis and three of it's legs missing... :(

Believe me it does hurt... especially your wallet... just remember you need a PPC board and GFX card for OS4.X to be of any use and the vast majority of Amiga users don't own these things... ;)

I haven't used OS 4.0 Classic so I wouldn't know but from what I've read lots of people was dissapointed and that's a shame, really. Hmm... What about giving it another try then? Like I said I'm happy with it on my amigaone and people seems to be enjoying it on their SAMs.


AppleHammer just recently pointed out to me that even the latest version of OS4.x would be of no use to me without a GFX card to go with my BPPC... :(

To be honest after my experience with OS4.0 and being abandoned by Hyperion after just one "upgrade" then even if I ever do get hold of BVision board OS4.x is not for me anymore I'm afraid... :)

My 060's and OS3.1 & OS3.5 can do everything I require from an Amiga and the PPC comes in handy for PPC versions of programs like Lame & Frodo without the need to install what I consider a rather bloated OS like OS4.x ... :)

As I'll never buy anything like a SAM then OS4 will never really be something I'd consider buying again... :)

Edit:  drHirudo - Yeah good points.  Aos3 isn't for modern computing.  Hence why its referred to as Classic, by just about everyone.


Until I went online last year I had only ever came across the term "Classic" being used to describe the Amiga once before and that was by Hyperion for their launch of OS4.0... :)

To me it's quite simple and no-one can say otherwise, an Amiga is quite simply the the original hardware built by CMB, Amiga Technologies & for a Short Time sold by Escom/ Gateway... :)

Everything else that people like to call an Amiga quite simply is not an Amiga and never will be... :)

So perhaps it time to drop the "classic" tag for the real and genuine Amiga hardware and instead when talking about these other things (SAM etc..) put a tag on them like "Wannabes" or "Imitation Products" when talking about them instead... ;)

PS:I you think the Amiga isn't for "modern computing" then your delusional... :)

The issue for people my age is that I don't have time anymore for hobby/fun computer use.  I bought my first Amiga when I was in my teens now and in my forty's.  Priorities have changed for me and I bet many original classic users.


I too am in my forties (46 and half to be exact) but I can't quite fathom where your priority's have changed for the worse just because you're forty something... :confused:

Guess you haven't got the hang of the "age" thing yet... ;)

By the time you hit your 40's you should have learned enough about life by now to realise that you've got more time than you ever had before for doing the things you enjoy and not the other way round as you seem to be saying... :)

You must be doing it wrong (living I mean), by now you should be at the stage where you can sit around in your Y-fronts and the jumper or T-Shirt full of holes (cos it's the comfiest) and not giving a crap about what anyone says or thinks... :)

Gawd sake man... the old wooden overcoat ain't that far off for the likes of you and me, so make the time, enjoy yourself, enjoy life before it's game over and leave all the worrying behind and priorities behind you... :)

At the end of the day when your six foot under you won't be worrying about bill's, mortgage repayments or prioritising things etc... leave that to kids to sort out when they fight over their inheritance... (or better still blow it all on simply enjoying yourself and let the brats earn their own money and learn about life the hard way, like I and most likely yourself had to do)... :D

Honestly, try it, for me life's never been so much fun.... :)

It actually is. These days WinUAE emulates ton of different kind of setups and does it really well. There really is no way to tell it apart from the real thing.


I think a couple of things, like the WinUAE titlebar and the fact that you'd be most likely running it on a PC might just be a wee bit of a giveaway... :)

Hi,

@Franko,

Heck I will go one better, OS 4.1 is slower then a dead snail with it's slime missing. It multi-tasks like a 1987 MAC, and is actually worse than Windows 3.1, and you are right, you need a PPC board (which I have) and a graphics card (still looking) so if anyone has a bvision graphics card out there that they want to get rid of like super cheap, let me know.

smerf


Hi Smerf... :)

Wow... dead snails with their slime missing are as rare as a three legged tortoise nailed to a skateboard with a rocket up it ass... :)

Which is equally as rare as a bloody Bvision Gfx card and I baggsed it first so got to the back of the que ... ;)

Cheers

It's quite simple OS 3.x is the best there is... :)

Everything else (cept for AROS 68K, if I can get it to work...:() are failed wannabes for hardware that's in most case's got as much in common with a real Amiga as I have with the ruddy English langauge... :)

PS: Don't bother telling me that OS4.x runs on real Amiga hardware (it may do if you have a PPC & GFX board) but it's still about as useful as a fart in a poke... ;)

@ All

Ach fur gawds sake geeza brek wid ye... :furious:

I dunno, I pop out into the real world for just one day (and yes it's still there, just outside me front door) and come back to find World War OS 3 Vs 4 has broken out... :(

Calm down ladies & gents, take a long slow deep breath and hold it for about 2 day's and you'll find all is right with the world and fairies do exist... :)

You'd never catch me getting involved in such childish and silly arguments... no siree, not me, never... :)

(I usually just start them and then bugger off and watch the fur fly with a nice bag of popcorn, pancakes & Pepsi (Don't like Coke... :( Pepsi rulez ... :))

PS: Me dog just died (yet again) I demand a refund... :(

Oh look a nice shiny silver teaspoon... where me polish... my bum just fell off... 2 plus 2 makes a boiled egg... waaay down upon the swanee river... I did it myyyyy waaaaaaay... :)

Why hello FrankO!
I was wondering how you'd missed the drama.
Try telling Hotrod here that you might consider OS4 on an X1000.
He's convinced we're all conspiring to bully him.

Frankly, I don't think most OS3 users want to move to OS4.

They want a Natami (or other board).


@ Hotrod

It's dolly dimple... OS3 rules ya bass... :D

@ TheRestOfYou

Stop picking on Hotrod he can't help his disposition, being an OS4 supporter is an incurable ailment and is beyond the scope of modern day medicine... :(

Sufferers of OS4eitis should be treated with warmth and compassion by those of us with an extra brain cell and OS3.x (or skelped across the napper with a big wooden mallet, the choice is yours)... :)

Now watch, listen & learn... me I'm off to bed... night night... :)

Ta, I'm surprised you didn't pick up on the reference to CJ though :D

Just call me Reggie ;)

To be honest I wasn't sure if that's what you meant or if you were referring to some member here called CJ that I hadn't noticed before... (must be going senile)... :)

I'll just leave me clothes on the beach now and head off into the sea... ;)
