Not sure if this is a super deal or not and they're "almost gone," but seemed like it might be a good place to go besides eBay.

Looks like a good deal to me, at least with compgeeks you'll get something that's reasonably newish. With the way MorphOS is married to the hardware, you may as well get the best you can get the first time.

If you think it is overpriced I have a 1.42 which I paid $650 then later upgraded the BT/WIFI and RAM making the grand total probably closer to $900  Also mine is one of the early ones that had very poor quality on the VGA output. (silent downgrade)

So go ahead and click "buy" and rest assured that you are getting a great deal compared to me...

I was given a Powerbook5,8 15" with 2GB RAM and 128MB VRAM.

I fell a little better now...

What do you mean it is married to the hardware? Do you mean it is like the classic Amiga OS where it is hardware depending (MorphOS) and does that mean i can develop hardware banging software like classic Amiga making on MorphOS and that these games or software can run only on MacMini? Is MoprhOS and it's hardware the same story as Amiga classic?

I just mean that once you buy MorphOS, your keyfile is bound to that device, so its probably worth just getting best you can get initially because its a hassle to upgrade. Please don't go off saying I'm criticizing the MorphOS license, which I'm not.

In my case, I'm stuck with the 1.42 with the crappy quality VGA and the 32MB VRAM. If i wanted to buy this new one from compgeeks, i'd have to sell the old G4 with license and then purchase a new license.
