Mum Tries Out AmigaOS 3.1 (1993)

[@OsFirstTimer]

Hi guys, I know I said January 10th was going to be the next episode but hey, turns out I got this episode up earlier than expected. Happy new year everyone!

[@thicco_]

WERE YOU DEAD ALL THESE DAYS?!

[@thicco_]

+wwemario12345 I am watching this video right now

[@thicco_]

+wwemario12345 ok

[@strikeforcerock]

+OSFirstTimer Happy NY. Would it be possible to do a Mum/Dad tries out Windows 10 (now that is has been RTM'd)?

[@CoreDreamStudios]

+OSFirstTimer Happy New Year man

[@gaelansteele9224]

"That will erase your hard drive." "That sounds fun!"

[@alvamiga]

The Amiga Operating system was just that... an operating system for the computer. A lot of the other items you'd expect were on the other disks and third party stuff. The intuition errors you were getting were due to the clock being open (behind mum). The desktop couldn't close to assert the new settings as programs couldn't deal with it being altered while they were open. The one program running at the end stopping you from quitting was the RexxMaster program ("doing nothing") and confused a lot of people at the time. Rexx was a system that allowed programs to intercommunicate and script actions in any program in a similar way to the same stuff on the Mac that most people never find, either.

[@miniwa1698]

FINALLY! Also, amiga episode. Yayyyyyyyy now do 4.1fe

[@gaybenshapiro_]

It makes me very happy to see another video!

[@ParanoidGMP]

Glad to see you guys back doing videos. This video brings me back to my amiga days

[@ollyscargill6638]

YOURE BACK!!! I had to watch all of your old videos... Finally a new one!!!

[@MainDeJustice]

Damn, you were absent for such a long time! I really missed your videos, glad to see you back on track!

[@cutecottoncandycat340]

Guys, you should post more often. If you can't, I respect that... Diana has work, and you have a life. I love this channel, and it deserves more subscribers. You inspired me to finally fix VMware, and you have been one of my favorite channels since I found you. Thank you for existing. You deserve so much more!

[@Fezza1186]

Yaay!! Finally another video. I thought you guys had left this channel but it seems like you haven't :D

[@FedeGianca]

I have a question: If the OS only shows 4 colors, how is it able to display a full color pallet at 12:00?

[@gotek1194]

4 colors in non boosted machine, 16777216 colors with a graphique card.

[@jarisipilainen3875]

yes its trick xD. it can show more colors in this 4 color palette its just reduce them. and they did not open screenmode.more colors more memory it need run it. if you have stock 512k memory you are out memory fast. if change 8 color it would look same only icons get more colors "if they have" basic workbench color are 4 color.who need 16million color icons xD

[@yjk_ch]

While Workbench uses 4 colors by default, that's just to give more memory for other things. In fact, the OS can show more colors, but not in default "Workbench Screen", which is configured as 4-color Screen. A "Screen" in Amiga OS is sort of a window(that Mum dragged at 16:20) that contains actual windows, and each Screen can have different graphics settings(like resolution and color depth). What you are seeing at 12:00 is actually a new Screen, probably configured as 32 color mode(or possibly 16). "4 colors in non-boosted machine" is not really true at all. Even the Amiga 1000 had ability to show 32 colors at once without using any tricks. Also, AmigaOS 3.5 and later did start using more colors in default Screen, as well as introducing new icon format that supports more colors.

[@desiv1170]

Just go into Preferences and select "Screenmode" and then you can select more (or less) than 4 colors.

[@KellyLeeWWEandTNAThemeSongs]

Great to be back I bet :) I used to love watching OsFirstTimer

[@westont3276]

FINNALY!!!! AFTER ALMOST 6 MONTHS!!!!!!! SIGN OF LIFE!!!!!!!

[@krum1985]

Good to see you released a new "Mum tries out" video, those are my favorites =) hope to see more of them this year ^_^

[@JamesewoodsHD]

We've seen your mum try out an early build of Windows 10, but what about the latest RTM build? Would be cool to see her use Continuum too.

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

James Woods but this PC is running Windows 10

[@wowmom98lol]

Great to see that you are back! I really wish more people are subscribed to you because this is amazing content most people are missing.

[@notanotherreviewer.]

[@JibbyVideos]

Hey, nice to see a new video! I don't mind waiting for them as they never disappoint once they arrive, so take your time :) Looking forward to the future content in 2016.

[@loganlowe2546]

Yay, A new video! also OSFT, the "Histacom ShiftOS argument" has been resolved since...

[@theminecraftgamingcrew2504]

Nice to see my favourite youtuber back ;D!

[@theroundduckman]

Holy S**t, a new video!? Man, these used to be so common, I missed the time when these began popping like nuts, now they're rare in an era where quality KZbin videos are just usually some idiot screaming on a mic. :/

[@noahb2]

Yay its so good to see you two together again testing another operating system! : ) +OSFirsttimer

[@matani2001]

Yes! You're back finally! 😀 P.S: That serial thing is probably a modem connection of some sort.

[@WackyConundrum]

This is one of the most wholesome videos on KZbin.

[@cno9984]

Yay!! Finally new video!

[@ferrreira]

She's so adorable! I loved when she changed the UI Colors

[@xanpagebrown]

[@yolololo5724]

[@ProXPro106]

Finally! You're back!!

[@antlando]

YAAAASSSS THE RETURN OF A LEGENDARY CHANNEL!!!!

[@Hana2736_]

I just noticed this was uploaded on my birthday!

[@PatrickPowerProductions]

Yay! A new video! Looking forward to more!

[@vertov76]

10:26 - A long time Amiga user from back in the day, I totally agree. Hilarious! I loved my Amiga, but she is dead on. "I don't even like Tools, they don't do anything. I want to delete them." So true!

[@vertov76]

Even it doesn't know what these do. They're full of question marks!

[@ThePaulLondoner]

Another great video! I suggested you try a later version of Amiga Workbench/AmigaOS some time ago. I used Amiga computers as my main computer system for over 10 years, so I know a lot about them. Unfortunately, Diana is used to/has been brainwashed into the Microsoft Windows way of doing things, which is why her mouse clicks didn't work in the way she expected. The left mouse button is used for pointing and clicking, while the right mouse button is held down to reveal menus. The window buttons are called gadgets and the desktop is called Workbench, because Apple sued Digital Research over GEM, so Commodore Amiga Inc decided to use different terms, and they wanted to have a quite different look and feel from the Apple Mac. The window gadgets work as follows. The top left gadget closes a window, the top right gadget pushes a window from the front to the back, or from the back to the front depending on its current position, while the gadget to the left of the front/back gadget is the minimize/maximize gadget. The Amiga used a revolutionary system where screens containing the Workbench or individual programs could be laid on top of or behind each other, then you could hold the left mouse button down and drag the current screen down to reveal another screen behind it. Modern graphics chips and cards can't cope with this, except by Amiga emulation. You can also click the screen depth gadget in the right hand corner of the bar at the top of the current screen to send it to the back and see what's behind it. It's a pity you write protected the system disk. When the error message telling Diana to close all the windows except drawers (folders/directories) appeared, why didn't she just close all the windows before clicking Retry?! How more obvious could it be? Another example of Microsoft Windows brainwashing. I hope you now understand how the windows, screens, and mouse work under Amiga Workbench 3.1.

[@JackStavris]

Not sure if you've done it yet, but could you get her to try out IBM OS/2? I would like to see that.

[@12pearcj]

+Jack Stavris She tried OS/2 Warp 4, if that's what you mean.

[@LoogiTheDino]

+jakeypearce She could try an older version of OS/2, like 1.x (not 1.0) or 2.0, as they're different to Warp 4.

[@m654z]

+jakeypearce I remember you from the OSFT forums m8. My username was muhuwj2, I think.

[@12pearcj]

Ooh! Looks like I've gained some followers. :P

[@m654z]

jakeypearce :P

[@cyberxander8574]

last version of Amiga OS is AmigaOS 4.1 FE which was released in 2014, it is available as digital download for $30, Classic version can be emulated on PC but it has limitatins (mainly RAM and graphic card limitations)

[@philipproedig]

Yes, there is another OS that might be interesting to try...MorphOS 3.9...:-)

[@arturovasquez9337]

Are you going to make videos more frequently or is it now every 5 months.

[@feasty1000]

Hi I love this channel and have for a very long time keep it up mate! ;)

[@NaviciaAbbot]

AmigaSys or AmiKit can add all those precious features into OS 3. Alternatively, one could use Cloanto's AmigaOS 3.X, which is a bootdisc that comes with AmigaForever.

[@thanusun]

congratulations on 50k subs

[@ZombieMannTF2]

Yes there back I been waiting!! :)

[@just456bc]

This is the first time I have ever heard of this guys channel, just by looking at the side bar it seems that his mom has tried out more operating systems then I have ever heard of.

[@OsFirstTimer]

+just456bc You can NEVER have enough operating systems ;)

[@Chr0n0s38]

+OSFirstTimer Amiga, Windows, GNU/Linux, Amiga, BSD, Haiku, OS/2, and TempleOS are ones I can think of off the top of my head that you've already done. Any others that you have covered like the Hurd?

[@fabian6514.cr3]

That is the best thing ever , a new osfirsttimer video!!

[@johnnieburkhalter5265]

After nineteen million hours, you got an episode out

[@fabian6514.cr3]

And the colour is always gold

[@turtleryde9365]

I loved the amiga :} your mom is a sweet heart

[@e-skils]

Finaly love this channel

[@williamha1652]

You're back!

[@nicholasterberg5977]

Yay! A new video FINALLY 😃😃😃

[@gt86drift]

I honestly couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that there was a new video from OSF.

[@GetExposed1]

You are alive!

[@stefanhofmann2521]

Awesome video!! This video was really funny

[@strangersound]

These videos are just fun. :)

[@fsgspider2945]

Yes finally another video

[@davidandrew3006]

Still looks better and more customizable than Windows 10.

[@windowselectronic1016]

+David Andrew Well, if it is true that Windows 10 is continually changing and is going to be the last version of windows, at some point you won't have very much of an option but Windows 10.

[@windowselectronic1016]

+TheBlackiwid But Windows runs almost everything. Mac is next. Then Linux. Then Solaris. Then Amiga. The list goes on and on. And Steam OS? That sounds like a Linux distribution. There are not as much games for Linux as on Windows. And if it is a separate OS together, i'm surprised that valve created an OS based on Steam.

[@windowselectronic1016]

+TheBlackiwid He? Mind you, there are also plenty of female gamers who have bothered to create KZbin accounts and start playing games. So "he" would not be the right term. You could have used "they", "he/she" or something like that. You will make the girl gamers very upset if you don't include them. What were you thinking?

[@windowselectronic1016]

+TheBlackiwid You don't wanna start an argument on this channel man, he's alrady had enough. I don't want an argument, and you don't want an argument, so the only way that this is going to work is if you stop saying Windows 10 is trash and I stop yelling about stupidity.

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

Brian Stump Windows 10 the best

[@MaxPicAxe]

The outro sais terried mom instead of terrified mom!! Thanks for uploading another video!

[@channelnolongerused9610]

I love the old radioactive customization XD

[@windowselectronic1016]

+Parker he's doing videos and he's still alive. He feels fantastic and he is still alive. While you're dying he'll be still alive. And when you're dead he will be still alive. Still alive. Still alive.

[@antlando]

+Brian Stump still alive...

[@NininininimoCP]

Wooho! New video! Great one BTW!

[@64dogs]

Yay, thanks for the new vid!

[@thicco_]

Dude You are first

[@desiv1170]

I have to admit, I never understood why the Workbench as a window was the default. Love my Amiga and Workbench, but I always chose Workbench as backdrop right away and saved it. I mean, I am fine if someone wants to choose for it to be a Window, but I always thought that was confusing and never should have been the default. Also, when I got my Amiga, I got an external floppy drive and it came with a file manager program (CLIMate), which made it much more useful. Her main issue isn't figuring out that Amiga, but the fact that it is different from what she knows... She'd get it eventually and not mind it... I remember after I had taught my mom how to use an old word processor (using command key options for formatting) and she eventually figured it out. Then we moved to Windows and I went to teach her a GUI word processor and she said "I'll never figure this out..." I told her she was able to figure out the more difficult program, this would be easy. ;-)

[@fairyball3929]

FINALLY, another FREAKING video! :/

[@growlie2676]

How long has it been?

[@MattLGaming]

+Growlie26 over 5 months.

[@growlie2676]

[@polyzium7863]

OSFT Finally a new video!

[@astro4355]

YAAAAS! THX PHILIP!

[@skrelnic]

The OS did have a text editor. You can see in the Tools window MEmacs was installed.

[@AstralPhaser]

+skrelnic Ah, nuts. Due to it's appearance (reminded me of some Basic coding app) I just assumed it was used for coding then quickly closed it. I better make an annotation for that. Thanks :)

[@danwood_uk]

+skrelnic There's also an editor called Ed in the C: directory, but you'd need to open it from the CLI.

[@HolmAdrian]

You're back!!!!!!!

[@maxsmarts8210]

THanks god that the workbench disk was protected!!!

[@Vas709]

Are there any bloopers that you didn't show in your video?

[@linusevosonic]

Reason why this OS had no Software was the Amiga 1200/4000 came bundled with a bunch of Programms like Digita Wordworth, Deluxepaint and so on. In the much older Version 1.3 their was at least an Text Programm called Notepad. I used an Amiga1200 with a whopping 2MB RAM and 160MB HDD back in the 90s before I got my first 486 PC. I guess the Amiga was mostly used here in Europe.

[@JacobGaming27]
