​​​ ​Hello everybody,​ ​​ ​​ ​and welcome back to another video.​ ​​
​​​ ​Now, in today's episode,​ ​​ ​​ ​we're going to be taking a look at MorphOS,​ ​​
​​​ ​which is a pretty interesting​ ​​ ​​ ​and unique operating system​ ​​
​​​ ​because it serves a very​ ​​ ​​ ​niche market in the modern day.​ ​​
​​​ ​This is an OS that is still​ ​​ ​​ ​actively maintained and developed​ ​​
​​​ ​that's designed for certain​ ​​ PowerPC-based machines,​ ​​
​​​ ​and its roots lie in AmigaOS.​ ​​
​​​ ​In fact, MorphOS is considered to​ ​​ ​​ ​be an AmigaOS-like operating system,​ ​​
​​​ ​and AmigaOS is kind of a​ ​​ ​​ ​whole 'nother can of worms​ ​​
​​​ ​that would probably be saved​ ​​ ​​ ​to go down in a separate video.​ ​​
​​​ ​But what you need to know is that​ ​​ ​​ ​MorphOS was originally designed​ ​​
​​​ ​for certain Amiga computers that​ ​​ ​​ ​had an accelerator card installed,​ ​​
​​​ ​which contained a​ ​​ ​​ ​PowerPC processor.​ ​​
​​​ ​Now, when you think of PowerPC,​ ​​ ​​ ​there's a good chance you think of Macs,​ ​​
​​​ ​because Apple used the architecture​ ​​ ​​ ​in their machines beginning in the 1990s​ ​​
​​​ ​and lasting until the Intel​ ​​ ​​ ​transition in the mid-2000s.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, you probably won't find it surprising​ ​​ ​​ ​that MorphOS was eventually made​ ​​
​​​ ​to be installed on​ ​​ ​​ ​PowerPC Macs as well.​ ​​
​​​ ​In fact, out of the 11 computers​ ​​ ​​ ​listed as officially compatible​ ​​
​​​ ​with MorphOS on the website,​ ​​ ​​ ​7 of them are Macs.​ ​​
​​​ ​And we've got one of​ ​​ ​​ ​those computers right here,​ ​​
​​​ ​of course it's my​ ​​ ​​ ​Power Mac G4 Cube,​ ​​
​​​ ​that I actually last​ ​​ ​​ ​powered on in 2021​ ​​
​​​ ​when we installed​ ​​ ​​ ​Ubuntu Linux on this thing.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, we are going to pop in the​ ​​ ​​ ​MorphOS installation disc right here.​ ​​
​​​ ​And we're just going to reboot the​ ​​ ​​ ​system and begin the installation process.​ ​​
​​​ ​And yes, we are going to​ ​​ ​​ ​overwrite the existing Ubuntu install​ ​​
​​​ ​and just do a clean install of​ ​​ ​​ ​MorphOS and see what it has to offer.​ ​​
​​​ ​This is actually going to be​ ​​ ​​ ​my first time taking a look at this.​ ​​
​​​ ​I have not explored​ ​​ ​​ ​this off-camera,​ ​​
​​​ ​so this is going to be a new​ ​​ ​​ ​experience for me as well.​ ​​
​​​ ​But from what I've looked at,​ ​​ ​​ ​this operating system looks pretty cool,​ ​​
​​​ ​because it's kind​ ​​ ​​ ​of its own thing.​ ​​
​​​ ​In fact, the OS states that this is a​ ​​ ​​ ​mostly proprietary operating system,​ ​​
​​​ ​though it does have a few​ ​​ ​​ ​open source components.​ ​​
​​​ ​But it is a commercial​ ​​ ​​ ​operating system.​ ​​
​​​ ​This is not free,​ ​​ ​​ ​you do have to pay for it.​ ​​
​​​ ​I believe a license​ ​​ ​​ ​costs around 79 euros.​ ​​
​​​ ​However, there is a free 30-minute​ ​​ ​​ ​trial period that you can utilize,​ ​​
​​​ ​and it's actually how​ ​​ ​​ ​you have to install the OS.​ ​​
​​​ ​And there we go,​ ​​ ​​ ​the monitor is lying to us.​ ​​
​​​ ​It says it cannot​ ​​ ​​ ​display this video mode,​ ​​
​​​ ​but it is displaying the video.​ ​​
​​​ ​Uh, but...​ ​​ ​​ ​so that's kind of funny.​ ​​
​​​ ​But, uh, yeah. Oh, it's definitely​ ​​ ​​ ​on a super high resolution here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Um, that's why it's...​ ​​ ​​ ​oh my gosh, this is quite...​ ​​
​​​ ​Yeah, this is because of​ ​​ ​​ ​the capture card that I've got,​ ​​
​​​ ​the VGA signal split between​ ​​ ​​ ​that and the monitor here.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, uh, yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​we definitely need to change that somehow.​ ​​
​​​ ​Can we go...​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, is there a way to​ ​​ ​​ ​change the resolution, like,​ ​​
​​​ ​without going through the​ ​​ ​​ ​setup and waiting for it to install?​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, English,​ ​​ ​​ ​American key map, okay.​ ​​
​​​ ​Actually,​ ​​ ​​ ​I believe this is a live CD,​ ​​
​​​ ​so, yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​we can just hit "Browse CD" here.​ ​​
​​​ ​And yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​these are the contents of the CD,​ ​​
​​​ ​so we should be able to go...​ ​​
​​​ ​Uh, if I can find where the settings are,​ ​​ ​​ ​that would be super nice.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, here, "Settings," "System."​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, here we go, here we go.​ ​​
​​​ ​"Screens," um,​ ​​ ​​ ​we want to edit this.​ ​​
​​​ ​There we go,​ ​​ ​​ ​that's a lot better.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, my gosh, I can actually,​ ​​ ​​ ​like, see what's on the screen​ ​​
​​​everything​ ​​was so tiny before.​ ​​
​​​ ​But yeah, so, you know,​ ​​ ​​ ​if you just wanted to, like,​ ​​
​​​ ​try out MorphOS a little bit​ ​​ ​​ ​and get a feel for what it is,​ ​​
​​​ ​you could just kind​ ​​ ​​ ​of explore it here.​ ​​
​​​ ​But we're, of course,​ ​​ ​​ ​going to go through with the installation,​ ​​
​​​ ​although now I've​ ​​ ​​ ​closed out of the...​ ​​
​​​ ​I've closed out​ ​​ ​​ ​of the installer.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, let's...​ ​​ ​​ ​We've got to find where that is.​ ​​
​​​ ​This is off to a wonderful start,​ ​​ ​​ ​isn't it?​ ​​
​​​ ​Jeez.​ ​​
​​​ ​You would think they would have,​ ​​ ​​ ​like, a big install icon on the desktop​ ​​
​​​ ​or just not let you​ ​​ ​​ ​close out of the installer,​ ​​
​​​ ​because I literally don't...​ ​​ ​​ ​Like, where do we have to go?​ ​​
​​​ ​Applications, maybe?​ ​​
​​​ ​Ummmmmm...​ ​​
​​​ ​No, no, no, no, no.​ ​​
​​​ ​Where is the​ ​​ ​​ ​freaking installer at?​ ​​
​​​ ​Tools?​ ​​
​​​ ​There it is, installer.​ ​​
​​​ ​That's not the same thing.​ ​​
​​​ ​Maybe iWizard, is this it?​ ​​
​​​ ​Like, "i" for install?​ ​​
​​​ ​Nope, that's not it.​ ​​
​​​ ​"WB Startup."​ ​​
​​​ ​Is it "First Flight"?​ ​​
​​​ ​There it is, there it is.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay.​ ​​
​​​ ​All right, so,​ ​​ ​​ ​let's go to this installation.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, okay, this is...​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, so, it was iWizard.​ ​​
​​​ ​This... I just closed out of it,​ ​​
​​​ ​because it wasn't that​ ​​ ​​ ​initial window that we got.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, it is iWizard in there.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, great.​ ​​
​​​ ​iWizard allows you to​ ​​ ​​ ​pre-configure various system settings,​ ​​
​​​ ​set up network accesses,​ ​​ ​​ ​partition disks, blah, blah, blah.​ ​​
​​​ ​If you were running MorphOS,​ ​​ ​​ ​like a prior version,​ ​​
​​​ ​you could go with the​ ​​ ​​ ​update option down here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Of course, that's grayed out for us,​ ​​ ​​ ​because we don't have one.​ ​​
​​​ ​So,​ ​​ ​​ ​we're going to go "New Installation,"​ ​​
​​​ ​"US," "English," that's fine.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, so,​ ​​ ​​ ​we could have just gone through the wizard,​ ​​
​​​ ​and it would give us the​ ​​ ​​ ​option to change our resolution​ ​​
​​​ ​and display settings as well.​ ​​
​​​ ​So,​ ​​ ​​ ​we didn't really have to do any of that​ ​​
​​​ ​that I just went through,​ ​​
​​​ ​and then made everything​ ​​ ​​ ​more complicated.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay.​ ​​
​​​ ​Yes, date and time,​ ​​ ​​ ​that's correct.​ ​​
​​​ ​And, yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​we'll go the American key map.​ ​​
​​​ ​Mouse speed,​ ​​ ​​ ​we'll leave it kind of at the default.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh,​ ​​ ​​ ​we got some different options here.​ ​​
​​​ ​I do like this red one.​ ​​
​​​ ​Yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​we're going to go with that,​ ​​
​​​ ​though that looks to​ ​​ ​​ ​be the default anyways.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, all right, next.​ ​​
​​​ ​I do have an Ethernet​ ​​ ​​ ​cable plugged into this thing,​ ​​
​​​ ​so, it's recognizing that here,​ ​​ ​​ ​which is great.​ ​​
​​​ ​We're just going to go​ ​​ ​​ ​with the automatic option,​ ​​
​​​ ​because it does recommend that​ ​​
​​​ ​if you're installing it for the first time,​ ​​ ​​ ​which I am.​ ​​
​​​ ​One thing of note is​ ​​ ​​ ​there's no progress bar​ ​​
​​​ ​or any sort of​ ​​ ​​ ​indication as to like​ ​​
​​​ ​how long it's going to take​ ​​
​​​ ​or where it's at in​ ​​ ​​ ​the copying process.​ ​​
​​​ ​It does have a thing down here​ ​​
​​​ ​of how many files​ ​​ ​​ ​that it's copied over​ ​​
​​​ ​and how many​ ​​ ​​ ​kilobytes worth of files​ ​​
​​​ ​that it's copied over,​ ​​
​​​ ​but, you know,​ ​​ ​​ ​it doesn't tell you the total,​ ​​
​​​ ​so, we don't know exactly​ ​​ ​​ ​what that's going to be.​ ​​
​​​ ​And, would you look at that?​ ​​
​​​ ​It did not take long at all,​ ​​
​​​ ​like not even a​ ​​ ​​ ​minute or two went by​ ​​
​​​ ​since I last spoke to you guys.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, yeah, we'll say okay,​ ​​
​​​ ​and I guess we​ ​​ ​​ ​just got to restart.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, we'll close out of this,​ ​​ ​​ ​we'll eject the CD,​ ​​
​​​ ​and we'll just go to,​ ​​
​​​ ​let's see, how do we restart?​ ​​
​​​ ​Shut down, reboot, there we go.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, there's the boot screen.​ ​​
​​​ ​Pretty simple, nice looking.​ ​​
​​​ ​It also has, oh no,​ ​​ ​​ ​it reset the resolution again.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh my gosh. [Bleep]​ ​​
​​​ ​What on earth is it doing now?​ ​​
​​​ ​Look at this,​ ​​ ​​ ​it's like the entire screen​ ​​
​​​ ​like put up into a corner.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, geez, okay,​ ​​ ​​ ​so let's go to utilities.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's go to, or no,​ ​​ ​​ ​settings, system,​ ​​
​​​ ​and we'll have to​ ​​ ​​ ​modify this again.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, that's a lot better.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, here we are,​ ​​ ​​ ​here is MorphOS in all of its glory.​ ​​
​​​ ​And like I said,​ ​​ ​​ ​I have not used this before,​ ​​
​​​ ​I've not explored this before.​ ​​
​​​ ​This is kind of​ ​​ ​​ ​one of those videos​ ​​
​​​ ​where I just wanted​ ​​ ​​ ​to go into it blindly​ ​​
​​​ ​just to kind of experience​ ​​ ​​ ​this for the first time.​ ​​
​​​ ​One thing that is rather​ ​​ ​​ ​interesting and kind of odd​ ​​
​​​ ​is the way this menu​ ​​ ​​ ​bar works up here.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, you have to right​ ​​ ​​ ​click to get these options,​ ​​
​​​ ​and then you get kind of​ ​​ ​​ ​like you have in MacOS​ ​​
​​​ ​where you've got​ ​​ ​​ ​like the menu bar​ ​​
​​​ ​and all the options up there.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's not up here permanently,​ ​​
​​​ ​but like this is not a​ ​​ ​​ ​button that you can click.​ ​​
​​​ ​This is not either.​ ​​
​​​ ​You have to right click and then,​ ​​ ​​ ​yeah,​ ​​
​​​ ​then you can go here, My MorphOS,​ ​​
​​​ ​there's a little file​ ​​ ​​ ​browser we were just in.​ ​​
​​​ ​We can go into system​ ​​
​​​ ​and maybe browse the​ ​​ ​​ ​file structure a little bit here.​ ​​
​​​ ​We've got a readme file,​ ​​
​​​ ​which is probably gonna​ ​​ ​​ ​be important to read.​ ​​
​​​ ​It tells you the​ ​​ ​​ ​supported graphics cards,​ ​​
​​​ ​other supported cards, booting,​ ​​
​​​ ​how to make sure​ ​​ ​​ ​it boots properly,​ ​​
​​​ ​installation process,​ ​​ ​​ ​how to upgrade, how to report bugs.​ ​​
​​​ ​You got a quick FAQ here.​ ​​
​​​ ​And it does come with a​ ​​ ​​ ​decent amount of programs.​ ​​
​​​ ​Like you saw earlier when​ ​​ ​​ ​we were booting off the live CD,​ ​​
​​​ ​there's a lot of tools in here.​ ​​
​​​ ​We go back into utilities.​ ​​
​​​ ​We've got a bunch​ ​​ ​​ ​of stuff in here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's open up​ ​​ ​​ ​maybe the clock here.​ ​​
​​​ ​This is like a​ ​​ ​​ ​little bit of a widget​ ​​
​​​ ​that just appears on the desktop​ ​​
​​​ ​and you can kind​ ​​ ​​ ​of drag it around.​ ​​
​​​ ​Whatever the active​ ​​ ​​ ​application is will show up here.​ ​​
​​​ ​So Ambient Screen is the​ ​​ ​​ ​name of the overarching GUI.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's actually just​ ​​ ​​ ​referred to as Ambient.​ ​​
​​​ ​But yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​when I click on the clock here,​ ​​
​​​ ​you see that it​ ​​ ​​ ​changes to clock 52.0.​ ​​
​​​ ​I guess this is the​ ​​ ​​ ​50 second iteration​ ​​
​​​ ​of the clock application.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's go to about MorphOS,​ ​​
​​​ ​kind of read the​ ​​ ​​ ​about info here.​ ​​
​​​ ​So this is version 3.17,​ ​​
​​​ ​the latest version as​ ​​ ​​ ​of me filming this video.​ ​​
​​​ ​And that's the other​ ​​ ​​ ​thing too about MorphOS​ ​​
​​​ ​is this is a way,​ ​​ ​​ ​if you have an old PowerPC Mac,​ ​​
​​​ ​that for whatever reason you​ ​​ ​​ ​need to use in the modern day,​ ​​
​​​ ​this is an operating system​ ​​ ​​ ​that could do that for you.​ ​​
​​​ ​And it might be worth paying​ ​​ ​​ ​the 79 euros or whatever it is​ ​​
​​​ ​if you have an​ ​​ ​​ ​actual use for it.​ ​​
​​​ ​Yeah, what I was saying earlier​ ​​
​​​ ​about you having to​ ​​ ​​ ​download this demo version​ ​​
​​​ ​to even register it,​ ​​
​​​ ​there's no registration​ ​​ ​​ ​thing on the website.​ ​​
​​​ ​You have to download​ ​​ ​​ ​the ISO file for MorphOS,​ ​​
​​​ ​which I know I've been saying​ ​​ ​​ ​that this is a demo version,​ ​​
​​​ ​but this is regular MorphOS.​ ​​
​​​ ​This is the full experience.​ ​​
​​​ ​There's nothing like​ ​​ ​​ ​that won't run or anything.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's just that there​ ​​ ​​ ​is a time limitation,​ ​​
​​​ ​kind of a built-in time bomb​ ​​
​​​ ​that when you use it for,​ ​​ ​​ ​I believe, 30 minutes​ ​​
​​​ ​with it being unregistered,​ ​​
​​​ ​it'll come up with a message​ ​​
​​​ ​that says you have to​ ​​ ​​ ​register it to continue using it.​ ​​
​​​ ​And you do that by going through​ ​​
​​​ ​the registration utility here.​ ​​
​​​ ​And you click on next,​ ​​
​​​ ​and it says right here,​ ​​
​​​ ​software's initially time​ ​​ ​​ ​limited up to two hours per boot.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, so maybe it's two hours.​ ​​
​​​ ​I thought it was 30 minutes.​ ​​
​​​ ​But yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​so it says you must register.​ ​​
​​​ ​And this is kind of the downside​ ​​
​​​ ​and a very important​ ​​ ​​ ​thing to note.​ ​​
​​​ ​When you purchase MorphOS,​ ​​
​​​ ​it will create a unique key file​ ​​
​​​ ​that is bound to this​ ​​ ​​ ​particular machine​ ​​
​​​ ​that I've got it installed on.​ ​​
​​​ ​So you can't just transfer​ ​​ ​​ ​it to another computer.​ ​​
​​​ ​And the way it works​ ​​ ​​ ​is you would fill out​ ​​
​​​ ​your registration form here.​ ​​
​​​ ​It would ask you for​ ​​ ​​ ​your email address.​ ​​
​​​ ​And then it would​ ​​ ​​ ​send you an email,​ ​​
​​​ ​I believe with a PayPal link,​ ​​
​​​ ​where you would​ ​​ ​​ ​pay for the license.​ ​​
​​​ ​And then it​ ​​ ​​ ​generates that key file​ ​​
​​​ ​and ties it to this​ ​​ ​​ ​specific computer.​ ​​
​​​ ​So that is something​ ​​ ​​ ​to keep in mind​ ​​
​​​ ​if you do end up​ ​​ ​​ ​purchasing MorphOS.​ ​​
​​​ ​But you can try it out for free​ ​​
​​​ ​for that 30 minute or​ ​​ ​​ ​maybe two hour period,​ ​​
​​​ ​as it says here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Up to, well,​ ​​ ​​ ​it says up to two hours per boot.​ ​​
​​​ ​Maybe less depending on version.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, but let's go ahead​ ​​
​​​ ​and just kind of explore​ ​​ ​​ ​around this a little bit.​ ​​
​​​ ​We'll see what programs we have.​ ​​
​​​ ​We'll go to the My MorphOS​ ​​ ​​ ​icon here on the desktop.​ ​​
​​​ ​And let's go into system.​ ​​
​​​ ​And there is a web browser​ ​​ ​​ ​that's included in here.​ ​​
​​​ ​I forget the exact name,​ ​​
​​​ ​but I think it might​ ​​ ​​ ​be under utilities here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh,​ ​​it's probably under applications.​ ​​
​​​ ​I think Iris,​ ​​ ​​ ​I think this is the mail client.​ ​​
​​​ ​Yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​I can tell from the "@" sign there.​ ​​
​​​ ​So there is an email client.​ ​​
​​​ ​I believe it's Wayfarer.​ ​​
​​​ ​This is it.​ ​​
​​​ ​This is the browser.​ ​​
​​​ ​So we'll open this up here.​ ​​
​​​ ​We get that same​ ​​ ​​ ​kind of splash screen,​ ​​
​​​ ​which we still have​ ​​ ​​ ​for the email client here​ ​​
​​​ ​in the background.​ ​​
​​​ ​So let's hope one​ ​​ ​​ ​of these starts up.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, there we go.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, the browser.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, it's probably like doing​ ​​
​​​ ​some first setup​ ​​ ​​ ​type stuff here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Looks like it's​ ​​ ​​ ​got a few TTF files​ ​​
​​​ ​that's loading up or​ ​​ ​​ ​copying somewhere.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, and that's something​ ​​ ​​ ​that I'm figuring out here.​ ​​
​​​ ​You have to double​ ​​ ​​ ​click on a window​ ​​
​​​ ​when you want it to become​ ​​ ​​ ​the window that's on top.​ ​​
​​​ ​So like if I click once on this,​ ​​
​​​ ​it will make it the​ ​​ ​​ ​active window.​ ​​
​​​ ​You see the title​ ​​ ​​ ​bar changes here,​ ​​
​​​ ​but I have to double click on it​ ​​
​​​ ​to bring it to the very front.​ ​​
​​​ ​I guess while it's doing that,​ ​​
​​​ ​let's maybe browse​ ​​ ​​ ​the drive a little bit more.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's see what else we got.​ ​​
​​​ ​So we'll go to the system here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's go back to​ ​​ ​​ ​those applications.​ ​​
​​​ ​Yeah, you've got a VNC server.​ ​​
​​​ ​You've got,​ ​​ ​​ ​looks like a PDF program, VPDF.​ ​​
​​​ ​Yeah, so a little PDF reader.​ ​​
​​​ ​You've got, yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​some VNC stuff,​ ​​
​​​ ​LCD monitor test, remote shell,​ ​​
​​​ ​Iris, which is the mail​ ​​ ​​ ​client that we're loading up.​ ​​
​​​ ​There's a benchmark utility,​ ​​
​​​ ​or DiskSpeed and​ ​​ ​​ ​GfxSpeed as well.​ ​​
​​​ ​And I got to say,​ ​​ ​​ ​this file browser is pretty nice.​ ​​
​​​ ​The way it gives you, you know,​ ​​
​​​ ​your like directory​ ​​ ​​ ​breakdown here.​ ​​
​​​ ​You can easily jump back to the root of,​ ​​​​you know,​ ​​
​​​ ​just My MorphOS,​ ​​ ​​ ​but it doesn't get rid of the path​ ​​
​​​ ​that you were just in.​ ​​
​​​ ​So like I can go​ ​​ ​​ ​back to GFX speed.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's only when I​ ​​ ​​ ​go to a different,​ ​​
​​​ ​oh,​ ​​ ​​ ​and there's the email client.​ ​​
​​​ ​It finally started up.​ ​​
​​​ ​Look at that.​ ​​
​​​ ​So yeah, this thing,​ ​​ ​​ ​this is like a modern email client.​ ​​
​​​ ​I mean, 'cause this whole OS,​ ​​
​​​ ​it's still maintained and​ ​​ ​​ ​developed to this day.​ ​​
​​​ ​So, oh, there's actually,​ ​​ ​​ ​it looks like that.​ ​​
​​​ ​There's an update to Iris.​ ​​
​​​ ​We'll just skip it for now.​ ​​
​​​ ​So yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​you could sign in with Google,​ ​​
​​​ ​you know,​ ​​ ​​ ​right from your Gmail account.​ ​​
​​​ ​So it looks like you​ ​​ ​​ ​don't have to configure​ ​​
​​​ ​like mailbox​ ​​ ​​ ​settings and all that.​ ​​
​​​ ​Although I'm sure you​ ​​ ​​ ​could if you wanted to.​ ​​
​​​ ​At least I would hope.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, and here's Wayfarer.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay,​ ​​ ​​ ​so Wayfarer 4.8 is now available.​ ​​
​​​ ​It looks like the​ ​​ ​​ ​network is working.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's loading the MorphOS page.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's go ahead and​ ​​ ​​ ​download this new version.​ ​​
​​​ ​I wonder how​ ​​ ​​ ​updates are handled.​ ​​
​​​ ​It looks like it made​ ​​ ​​ ​this full screen.​ ​​
​​​ ​We can kind of​ ​​ ​​ ​restore that there​ ​​
​​​ ​and maybe resize a little bit.​ ​​
​​​ ​We'll just get out​ ​​ ​​ ​of the mail client.​ ​​
​​​ ​But yeah, back to what I was​ ​​ ​​ ​saying with the file browser.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's nice because it shows​ ​​ ​​ ​you your entire file path​ ​​
​​​ ​until you change,​ ​​ ​​ ​like I was just in GfxSpeed.​ ​​
​​​ ​If I go into DiskSpeed,​ ​​ ​​ ​then this will change.​ ​​
​​​ ​This layer, or this tier of​ ​​ ​​ ​the directory that we're in.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's like same thing​ ​​ ​​ ​if I'm in applications​ ​​
​​​ ​and I go back up the​ ​​ ​​ ​system and I go to classes,​ ​​
​​​ ​that will now change.​ ​​
​​​ ​That is really, really nice.​ ​​
​​​ ​You've also got some buttons​ ​​ ​​ ​up here for forward and back.​ ​​
​​​ ​You've got what I​ ​​ ​​ ​believe is like an info thing.​ ​​
​​​ ​And I guess they​ ​​ ​​ ​call folders drawers​ ​​
​​​ ​'cause that's what it,​ ​​ ​​ ​yeah, "Docs Drawer"​ ​​
​​​ ​and "Applications Drawer."​ ​​
​​​ ​Yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​so I guess that's what they're referring​ ​​
​​​ ​to folders as.​ ​​
​​​ ​And something​ ​​ ​​ ​else that I'm noticing​ ​​
​​​ ​is you cannot drag​ ​​ ​​ ​windows like off the screen.​ ​​
​​​ ​It is contained to the screen,​ ​​
​​​ ​which could honestly​ ​​ ​​ ​get kind of annoying​ ​​
​​​ ​if you're running it a little​ ​​ ​​ ​bit of a lower resolution.​ ​​
​​​ ​You want to just like move​ ​​ ​​ ​this window out of the way​ ​​
​​​ ​and have something else​ ​​ ​​ ​kind of like overlap on top of it.​ ​​
​​​ ​But you can just​ ​​ ​​ ​resize the window​ ​​
​​​ ​and then be able​ ​​ ​​ ​to move it around.​ ​​
​​​ ​And we'll go ahead and make it.​ ​​
​​​ ​I think this is, yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​this is making it full screen.​ ​​
​​​ ​And it does take over​ ​​ ​​ ​the menu bar as well.​ ​​
​​​ ​It completely just overlaps it.​ ​​
​​​ ​So let's go ahead and let's​ ​​ ​​ ​try to go to YouTube on here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Now watching YouTube videos,​ ​​
​​​ ​we'll go to my YouTube channel.​ ​​
​​​ ​Watching YouTube videos on here​ ​​
​​​ ​is going to be limited​ ​​ ​​ ​by the hardware itself.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​the browser has kind of frozen up here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, there we go.​ ​​
​​​ ​We got the search bar.​ ​​
​​​ ​But yeah, I mean, to be honest,​ ​​
​​​ ​like watching YouTube videos​ ​​
​​​ ​is something you're probably​ ​​ ​​ ​not gonna be doing on MorphOS.​ ​​
​​​ ​But what I did read​ ​​ ​​ ​is that apparently​ ​​
​​​ ​you can use the​ ​​ ​​ ​built-in media player​ ​​
​​​ ​and just like stream​ ​​ ​​ ​YouTube videos directly to it.​ ​​
​​​ ​And the playback is much better.​ ​​
​​​ ​Of course,​ ​​ ​​ ​it does depend on what hardware,​ ​​
​​​ ​like, you know,​ ​​ ​​ ​everything would be much better​ ​​
​​​ ​on like a G5,​ ​​ ​​ ​like a Power Mac G5,​ ​​
​​​ ​as opposed to a G4 Cube here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, it finally responded to me​ ​​
​​​ ​clicking the back​ ​​ ​​ ​button earlier.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's go to maybe Google.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's go to a bit of an​ ​​ ​​ ​easier website here.​ ​​
​​​ ​(keyboard clicking)​ ​​
​​​ ​So there's Google.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, so it does.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay, so it's not like a,​ ​​
​​​ ​I wonder what this​ ​​ ​​ ​browser is based on.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay,​ ​​ ​​ ​it is a WebKit based browser.​ ​​
​​​ ​Copyright 2020 to 2022.​ ​​
​​​ ​In fact, this is kind of​ ​​ ​​ ​reminding me of the Safari logo.​ ​​
​​​ ​Perhaps that's why​ ​​ ​​ ​they went with it.​ ​​
​​​ ​But you can see here,​ ​​
​​​ ​like this is not the​ ​​ ​​ ​modern Google homepage.​ ​​
​​​ ​Well,​ ​​ ​​ ​it doesn't display the mobile results page.​ ​​
​​​ ​So that's something.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's try to go to my Twitter.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, it's doing something.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's definitely slow,​ ​​ ​​ ​but it's chugging along.​ ​​
​​​ ​Maybe it'll get there.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's see.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, there we go.​ ​​
​​​ ​So it does look like it has​ ​​ ​​ ​loaded the mobile page.​ ​​
​​​ ​And by loaded,​ ​​ ​​ ​I mean, almost loaded.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's definitely​ ​​ ​​ ​lagging along here,​ ​​
​​​ ​but it did technically​ ​​ ​​ ​display the page.​ ​​
​​​ ​I actually wonder what the,​ ​​ ​​ ​if we go to the,​ ​​
​​​ ​I think there is like a,​ ​​ ​​ ​yeah, system monitor here​ ​​
​​​ ​where we can view the​ ​​ ​​ ​current CPU and memory load.​ ​​
​​​ ​I kind of wonder what​ ​​ ​​ ​this is looking like here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's resize this window.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​the CPU load is like super high there.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​it spikes up immediately.​ ​​
​​​ ​So yeah, the CPU is definitely​ ​​ ​​ ​having some trouble here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Memory usage is​ ​​ ​​ ​pretty good though.​ ​​
​​​ ​We're hovering around 20% there.​ ​​
​​​ ​But yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​CPU load is like maxing out.​ ​​
​​​ ​So yeah, maybe you don't​ ​​ ​​ ​really want to browse the web​ ​​
​​​ ​and go to modern​ ​​ ​​ ​websites on this thing.​ ​​
​​​ ​I mean,​ ​​​​​there's plenty of other operating systems​ ​​
​​​ ​and computers that​ ​​ ​​ ​you can do that on.​ ​​
​​​ ​You're going to have a​ ​​ ​​ ​much better experience,​ ​​
​​​ ​but I just like to, you know,​ ​​
​​​ ​kind of just mess around with stuff,​ ​honestly,​ ​​
​​​ ​and just kind of​ ​​ ​​ ​experiment with things,​ ​​
​​​ ​see what works and what doesn't.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh,​ ​​​and look at that Wayfarer crashed​ ​​
​​​ ​as we were trying to close it.​ ​​
​​​ ​All right,​ ​​ ​​ ​we'll just ignore that for now.​ ​​
​​​ ​But yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​so nice little system monitor utility here.​ ​​
​​​ ​We'll maybe​ ​​ ​​ ​resize that a little bit​ ​​
​​​ ​and have it down​ ​​ ​​ ​here at the bottom.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's actually​ ​​ ​​ ​look at the games.​ ​​
​​​ ​We've got Diamonds,​ ​​
​​​ ​which I wonder if it's going to​ ​​ ​​ ​be like Bejeweled or something.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh, we got to beat Albert​ ​​ ​​ ​Einstein's high score.​ ​​
​​​ ​All right. So I'm sure we've all​ ​​ ​​ ​played games like this before,​ ​​
​​​ ​but actually I wonder​ ​​ ​​ ​what if we open this up here​ ​​
​​​ ​and we go to About.​ ​​
​​​ ​Let's see,​ ​​ ​​ ​Puzzle with lots of shiny gems.​ ​​
​​​ ​And so there's​ ​​ ​​ ​the developers of it.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's got a bunch of​ ​​ ​​ ​translations as well.​ ​​
​​​ ​Got a few other games here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Pixel Cross,​ ​​ ​​ ​I wonder what this is.​ ​​
​​​ ​It opens up in a- too​ ​​ ​​ ​small of a window.​ ​​
​​​ ​Warning,​ ​​ ​​ ​this game might be addictive.​ ​​
​​​ ​All right,​ ​​ ​​ ​we'll start the tutorial.​ ​​
​​​ ​Welcome to Pixel​ ​​ ​​ ​Cross tutorial mode.​ ​​
​​​ ​The following pages will​ ​​ ​​ ​demonstrate how to play this game.​ ​​
​​​ ​Blah, blah, blah,​ ​​ ​​ ​use next to continue.​ ​​
​​​ ​Okay.​ ​​
​​​ ​Small thinking game.​ ​​
​​​ ​It's a combination​ ​​ ​​ ​of a crossword puzzle​ ​​
​​​ ​without words and Sudoku​ ​​ ​​ ​using pictures instead of numbers.​ ​​
​​​ ​The main task is to uncover​ ​​ ​​ ​pixel graphics without make-
​​​ ​oh, and there's the timeout.​ ​​
​​​ ​Look at that.​ ​​
​​​ ​Right as we were​ ​​ ​​ ​getting into Pixel Cross.​ ​​
​​​ ​So technically we can​ ​​ ​​ ​still use the system,​ ​​
​​​ ​but it says it will​ ​​ ​​ ​slow down soon.​ ​​
​​​ ​And it does mention,​ ​​ ​​ ​I was kind of wondering​ ​​
​​​ ​about if it would reset​ ​​ ​​ ​when you reboot the system.​ ​​
​​​ ​It does mention that in the,​ ​​
​​​ ​like let's go back​ ​​ ​​ ​to My MorphOS here​ ​​
​​​ ​and we go to System and what was it,​ ​Utilities.​ ​​
​​​ ​And it was the activation...​ ​​ ​​ ​or the Reg Tool here.​ ​​
​​​ ​Up to two hours per boot.​ ​​
​​​ ​And that was​ ​​ ​​ ​definitely not two hours.​ ​​
​​​ ​It was like 30 minutes.​ ​​
​​​ ​Oh,​ ​​​​this is the license from 2008.​ ​​
​​​ ​Look at that.​ ​​
​​​ ​So maybe it used to be two hours​ ​​
​​​ ​and then they've​ ​​ ​​ ​like lowered it.​ ​​
​​​ ​Or maybe it does actually​ ​​ ​​ ​vary depending on what version​ ​​
​​​ ​of the OS that you're running.​ ​​
​​​ ​Yeah,​ ​​​it'll just slow the system down,​ ​​
​​​ ​I guess to the point​ ​​ ​​ ​where it's not usable.​ ​​
​​​ ​So it says, you know,​ ​​ ​​ ​it like gives you time​ ​​
​​​ ​if you were working on something,​ ​​ ​​ ​which is nice.​ ​​
​​​ ​It does let you know, say,​ ​​ ​​ ​hey, if you're, you know,​ ​​
​​​ ​if you're doing something,​ ​​ ​​ ​save your work and, you know,​ ​​
​​​ ​buy a license 'cause​ ​​ ​​ ​this is not free software.​ ​​
​​​ ​But yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​I think getting this message​ ​​
​​​ ​is a pretty good stopping point.​ ​​
​​​ ​So yeah,​ ​​ ​​ ​I hope you guys enjoyed this video.​ ​​
