"Amiga enthusiasts are simply being price gouged because of their fanatical love of Amiga, plain and simple. "
I believe this. So to recap in me expierience the best values out there are:
A) Amiga forever (legal dist of os3.1) or AROS or UAE
B) Morphos
C) Amiga os4
for anyone reading this who may be new to Amiga or has been away a long time. I recommend getting Amiga Forever. You will support a developer and get legal version of OS3.1 in a nice package.
I have owned A500, cdtv, cd32, 1000, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3000t, 4000d, 4000t, and minimig.
Get yourself a Pentium 4 that some folks give away and you'll be happy painlessly emulating all the above worry free for practically nothing.
At the end of the day Mophos and Amiga OS4 provide you with LESS of a computing experience you can get for free.
That bein said I am an Amiga fanatic and if supoorting Morphos helps support a platform, it's my cash and I'll spend it on this stuff.
I guess that's why Amiga stuff goes for insane amounts on eaby and why Amiga anything is expensive. For many of us thi has become a step above a vice such as drinking, gambling or recreational drugs. Keeps us away from the wifey and outta trouble.
