First Workbench after 5 years away! Popular
Description: Had my Sam 440ep flex (OS4.1 update 2) for just over a week now and loving it (for the most part) so far!

Last Amiga was a microA1 with early OS4.0 which I sold on about 5 years ago. Things have moved on nicely since then and OS4.1 is a treat.

Favourite Workbench 4.1 features so far:
+ show .info files option in window menu
+ new view by name set up is great, especially when working with mp3s
+Ringhio
+ default theme and window transparency (nice without being OTT)
+ icons are the best ever, beautiful
+power on to google search page time is amazing (so quick!)

Not so sure about:
- context menus (turned off in WBStartup, seemed a bit clunky and unnecessary, would rather see standard WB menu further enhanced
- prefs drawer is a bit confusing and could do with some prefs being integrated, e.g. AHI and Sound, Printers
- some stuff seems redundant, like Picasso96 prefs, PlayCD (TuneNet better and included anyway)
- WBPattern, doesn't scale and keep asect ratio of backdrops which is annoying with a widescreen display

Favourite programs so far:
+ OWB is fantastic, I actually prefer to Firefox (apart from lack of flash), really nice feel and fast
+ TuneNet
+ DvPlayer
+ Celestia, very cool and filling a hole since Wonders of the Solar System series finished on the BBC
+ ADRipper is great for making mp3 files from CDs
+ SimpleMail, always used YAM in the past but thought I would try for a change and so far so good

Looking back through images I submitted months ago. Have since changed opinion on context menus in OS4, they rock!

I discovered how to edit the settings (shame there's no prefs program for this) and also turned off the mouse dependent option in GUI so WB menu is now just the traditional drop down (no confusion this way).
