The mac hardware that Morphos runs on is very easy to find, much much much cheeaper than any AO4 hardware and a lot of it is faster than any available AOS4 hardware by some margin.
 
Back to the original post, Hyperion will never port to cheap readliy availaible second hand hardware, that would make too much sense.

The Amiga community would be a million times better off if hyperion had not got their claws on AmigaOS.  It pains me that a lot of people are too blind to see the damage they have and continue to do to the platform.
 
So hopefully people like me, and we are not all MorphOS supporters, bitching will cause them to stop

Quote from: Tension;654196
x64 is the only platform for the future. That is why the Amiga is dying out. People with their heads in the ppc cloud. Times change. I was the biggest fan of ppc but it's dead. It's an ex parrot. Get over it and wise up. And don't start going on about aros ffs its not the same. Its useless. Of course I realise Amiga will never go x64 because that would make too much sense.

 
AROS is a much Amiga as AOS4 is....

Does it run octamed? Didn't think so. Next.

 
Does AOS4 then ?

So MOS works on broken Macs? How nice of it.
 
 
 
I vote this for the stupidest sentence on Amiga.org today.

 
I can beat that, how about this.
 
drHirudo is a rational person.
 
How did I do ?
