Interest in buying a Mac version of Amiga OS4.x

[Kesa]

Forgive my ignorance but what is wrong with Morphos? Maybe just use a skin to turn it into AOS4.x  

Unless if i misinterpreted the question...  :confused:

I voted no as i would just use Morphos

@drHirudo. I think he meant PPC Apples and not intel. As MOS is already on those PPC Apples i was just pointing out the obvious. I have nothing against AOS4.x and would love to see it ported to PPC Apples.

Unless the question was about x86 Apples and not PPC Apples. Am i trolling or am i just stupid? Don't know

Speaking of Apples, 5 minutes ago i won an Apple BT keyboard without number keypad off ebay at a bargain price  

Speaking of grapes. Does anyone have any lemonade? (sings) *waddle waddle waddle*

[Kesa]

what is the part of:

"Would you buy a (PowerPC) Mac version of Amiga OS4.x?"

you can't get?

Are you talking to me or drHirudo?  :confused:

@everyone. I still don't understand this thing about MOS fanboys hijacking AOS4.x threads. All i did was point out the obvious. Seems like paranoia to me :confused:

Where the fook do you live.  Because second hand mac minis are easy to get in uk and USA

Funny you said that. I have been trying to get one for a while in oz but they are really priced high. When a G4 Macmini comes up on ebay they usually sell for about $200-300. But overseas they go for $99. I will keep an eye out though

[Kesa]

Whats that in GBP ?
 
I paid £150 for my mac mini silent upgrade and was quite happy with that price tbh

A quick conversion gives 127-190 pounds. Maybe it is a good price to pay but being a poor student means it is a lot for me. Tonight i bought an Apple BT keyboard for 1/2 price of a new one and for me that is a small fortune.

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

LOL. Now is not the time to get snobby about which Amiga os we like. AROS if it ever becomes ready will be just as good if not better than the PPC next gen miggies

There is a youtube video which demonstrates the difference between the 32mb and 64mb vram. The 32mb kept on slowing down when a few windows opened up. Especially browser windows. So maybe i would be better off using the 64mb version as i always have many windows open

[Kesa]

not true, as you already know.

It depends on what you are doing with it. Everyone will use it in a different way  

[Kesa]

That video was just showing the way to rapidly exhaust video ram. But if you disable enhanced display, then you can open an insane amount of windows.

Yep that's the one. I would never disable the enhanced display though as i am a real big sucker for eye candy

I always thought he was Hungarian for some reason.

HAHA! I thought he was Japanese.

Has there ever been an explanation by Hyperion on why they never ported to Apple PPC's? I'm guessing maybe they are reluctant as then they would be in direct comparison with a (supposedly) superior product? I'm sure with the Amiga trademark on their side they could end up dominating over MOS if they wanted to. so why did they hold back? Respect for MOS?

[Kesa]

AmigaOS 4 on Apple PPC hardware was running long before MOS was ported to Apple Macs. What comparison you are talking about?

P.S. I agree, both MOS and AmigaOS 4 and not comparable with OS X. They are in totally different leagues. OS X have big company staying behind it, while MOS and AmigaOS 4 are amateur and hobby projects.

I wasn't talking about osx. i was talking about comparing MOS vs AOS4.x because apparently MOS is superior to AOS4.x.

Also i didn't know that AOS4.x was ever on PPC Apples. But i guess my question is why didn't they choose Apple hardware over the long term as competitors of MOS?

Finally, the truth spoken by an avid MOS supporter:

Right on my Amiga.
Heh

Ermm what's with the porn? I got 2 pop up screens with girls *ahem* :confused:

I'm pretty sure if i was using windows my computer would be fried by now.
