Good ol'? Dude, this is the VERY LATEST OS available for non-PPC users, as 4.0 is PPC-only (and probably will always be ) I would not classify 3.9 as old just because the version number is one tenth below the "latest" OS. I think these two kinds of Amigas dwell in two different, independent worlds. |

Excellent!! Any update is good. You won't notice anything much since these
only cover highly unusual situations.... |

I don't know if I'm hallucinating but I can't remember AGA was running at reasonable speed in this resolution, just took this screengrab from my A1200
So the patches must have done something |

The Amiga can do things with 256 colours the PC is hardpressed todo with 16bit.
Heck, it can do things with _16_ colours that should still make the PC run and hide in a closet.... |
