AmigaOS 4.1 Questions from a complete noob....

You can quit E-UAE with the shortcut left CTRL + left ALT + q

Yes, after (you have made sure you haven't any unsaved data and) the HD has stopped blinking, it's safe to just turn off the machine. However there are some tools to turn off the machine via software as well, like pOff (I'm unsure if it supports X5000 though).

I liked the 4 or so second grace period the X1K had for shutdown.

Don't think that is an option as far as I know for X5K.

If I remember right... push the power button for like 4 seconds in order for the X to shutoff.  That way it gave the data time to save if something was wrapping up and you hit the button too soon.

The grace period sounds cool.  I am now just waiting a bit before I turn mine off... and, in all honesty, there is nothing critical on my Amiga anyway.... I am just learning... and it isn't like I have my work files on here.... although, I wish I could!  Just like you @AmigaSociety, I wish we had a slightly better browser, and a good office suite.... not sure how soon we will get LIbreOffice... I know they are working on it... that has to be a ton of work....  And then printing... which I haven't even tried to look at... but I know that is a problem too....

On a completely unrelated topic.... how about any good games?  I am playing the AmigaRacer that I received with my X5000 purchase.  I like it!  Reminds me of the old Outrun style games.  I also found the unofficial Giana's Return, which is quite fun for a fan made sequel to the Commodore 64 Great Giana Sisters.....  I tried VoxelNoid from Cherry Darling, but it won't even launch.... I get a brief screen flash... then nothing..... I know it is just a breakout style game... but whatever.... Anyone managed to get it to work?  Any tricks?  Any other game recommendations?  

Thanks!
