| Aside from using AmigaOS 4.1 on my AmigaOne 500, I'm an Arch Linux user (though I've used Ubuntu in the past). But admittedly, Ubuntu has a pretty neat online, interactive tour: http://www.ubuntu.com/tour/en/#
And since quite a few of us on this forum are seeking ideas to make AmigaOS 4 relevant outside of our communities again (even if just a little), I was thinking: maybe we could do the same as Ubuntu. Just a simple online, interactive tour where one can 'feel' how AmigaOS 4 works. It might not be *the* answer, but it might get some people interested.
What do you guys think? _________________ Proud user of AmigaOS 4.1 on an AmigaONE 500. This is the first Amiga I've ever had so I don't know all the ins and outs of AmigaOS yet, so I'm sorry if I'm asking noob questions and stuff. |

Why not just point people to this simulator? Not as much of a "guided" tour as the Ubuntu one you linked to, but at least it seems like using an Amiga

LOL! It almost worked on iBrowse but ended up in a simulated Guru.
This is what I was thinking of and it's been updated to OS4.1. It actually looks quite realistic. And looks like quite a lot of work has gone into it. I suspect it works more fluent on faster hardware than my A1. Phase one Online tour complete! Last edited by Hypex on 20-Apr-2014 at 05:01 AM.

Works in Odyssey without any guru (however scrolling down the desktop reveals a black 'unrendered' area). Quite a nice demo, but quite sluggish - ironically the one thing it doesn't manage to convey is 'responsiveness'. Last edited by Boot_WB on 19-Apr-2014 at 05:10 PM.

I didn't know that existed! That's actually a nice base to start a more guided online tour of! :) _________________ Proud user of AmigaOS 4.1 on an AmigaONE 500.

Great idea. We did this @ Genesi with a virtual morphos system so alot of the Motorola devs could try morphos. (When MOrphos was no longer installed on ODW boxes)
