Why not just port it to a dishwasher then?

Yea, why not...
would be cool though... :-D

My guess is, it is not what it was intended to do. But what it CAN do...
And of course, the answer to ALL "why do this or that crap"?

@ Lorraine
I have recently acquired an efika, and it is a great computer.

Sadly though MorphOS costs 150 EUR to register. And it registers to the efikas network MAC address...
And my bios battery has died so i do not have the original mac address... until i do, i will not be purchasing os license for some time.

But it is definitely a step in the right direction of amiga hardware an operating system.
However.
MorphOS seriously surprised me. It is a very good OS.

Now i just need to get the aros iso down and try it...

Because we can!!! :-D

It adds to the versatility of the computers. like you said the Efika is not intended to be a desktop computer. and apart from embedded operating systems there is AFAIK only two OSes available to Efika, Linux and MorphOS.

Aros would be a great addition.

a lot of Amiga users have Efika now. and more will come. and it is nice to have the the freedom to choose an OS that you are comfortable with.
