So a utility tells me that the version of TOS I am using is 4.0.4. I hear of Magic and Mint as offering more modern features, but I don't know whether or not I should expect TOS/GEM applications to run. Any comments on the compatability here? I think that the stock desktop is kind of clumsy: hard to rubberband stuff, basic clicking and dragging issues. The OS being a bit more "hierarchial" would not be so bad.
But, my main focus on this machine is MIDI sequencing- I do not NEED it to be the most versatile all-around machine, but if I can improve things I'd be happy. I hear that there are also CLI shells for TOS with which one can implement some functions, but I don't know much about this.
I'd love to hear what some of you more-experienced Atarians have to say!
