Hi There, I've had my lurker hat on for a while, waiting to see what feedback was coming back on the newly released new version of the OS. However, no one has mentioned it in any of the groups I have been in. Also, I haven't found a web site that properly sings its praises. Have people in here upgraded, if so what do you reckon? Does it provide internet out of the box as promised? Do IDE CDROM drives work without being patched? I thought this new release would bring about a lot of interest and discussion, but I have certainly not seen owt yet. Anyway best go, Steve -- .------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Look out it's that Steve Dark -Steve@penge.u-net.com- | | Connected via Wirenet - the UK's first Amiga only internet provider. | | Penge - I've Never Been There Myself, But I've Heard It's Quite Nice | `------------------------------------------------------------------------'

However, no one > has mentioned it in any of the groups I have been in. It's been discussed a lot in bit.listserv.i-Amiga and csa.misc of course. The AA and AF mailing lists have also given it a lot of coverage. Amiga Active carried a four page review in their December issue (two weeks before AF's "Exclusive First Review" :) and there's an OS 3.5 Masterclass in the Jan 2000 issue. > Also, I haven't > found a web site that properly sings its praises. http://www.amiga.de ? :) > Have people in here upgraded, if so what do you reckon? It's worth getting. > Does it provide internet out of the box as promised? Yes, but it's basic Internet, as promised. It won't replace existing commercial or registered software. > Do IDE CDROM drives work without being patched? Yes, although only the first unit in my CD Changer works unless I use IDE-fix.

Well there may be a 01/04 RFC on the subject somewhere, and I'm sure something appropriate could be found in alt.usenet.kooks :) > Neil - wondering how much havoc a non-standard Rue could cause... -- <URL:http://www.pierrot.co.uk/> Team AMIGA I think trash is the most important manifestation of culture we have in my lifetime. - Johnny Legend

Might be worth a try :-) A few weeks ago some guy scanned in two or three pages of something vaguely to do with genealogy (dunno what exactly), formatted it as a Word document and sent it to me. It's almost 3 bloody Meg, and I can't even read it. Can't (yet) make my Ami-PC parallel link work, and it's much too big to pass via floppy. Is there any way of viewing Word docs on the Mig? A DOpus filetype perhaps? DaveB
