one comment regarding how much to pay for a hobby os, is that for me, i already moved on, for my "main os", and something like morphos might well be no more that say playing with a new "raspberry pi" or my recent thing "o2 joggler". the joggler was £50, has kept it's resale value and has been a lot of fun. I don't know if i would use morphos enough to justify the price tag for myself. I think the licensing is a little restrictive, and as a developer, I guess I dont get a public bugtracker, source and so on to play with. as that is part of the fun for me. Perhaps if I got morphos I would run it lots, I don't know.
Having said that, if the morphos team thought to give me a free key, that would be lovely ;-)
As I said before, I think offering developers morphos would be a good idea - Even I (Shock!) ported one app to morphos (hivelytracker), after getting it to work on os3, then later aros. or some order like that. I think morphos might have been last, but people asked for it, and I had an old morphos so it seemed a logical progression. (I think morphos gcc assumed signed chars and I had overlooked that in some code, causing a problem, my fail. and I had to change some new process call to specify ppc, but I made the effort and it works)
