what? you've obviously not looked under the bonnet. there are load of
small changes and additions... of course things like proper font caching
should have been done fully in os3.5, but other things like fully asyncio
workbench are a must!! Finally, I can just click, drag and copy and
whilst copying do other file deletes/moves/open drawers etc!
also, there are things like requesters in the execute-command, more menus
in the workbench and icons menus, Genesis, a better AWeb (still think it
should be 100% full version), WarpUP 5.1, more IO support, better support
for 3rd party disk drivers..and thats me just scratching the surface of it
this past week.
if you buy os3.6 now you get the SE CD, which solves many of those early
teething problems (as shown on the OS3.9 official FAQ). bung boingbag 1
for os3.9 onto it and its even better.

if anyone forced me to use one particular dev application then that'll be
the day i say goodbye to the Amiga. Amiga means freedom.
