Yes, I need. As I see it, has not Apple and Mac something to do on an amiga forum, whatever morphOS mean.


You bring this up constantly, we have heard you, but I for one do not agree with you.
 
Now to the OP I got a Mac Mini 1,42GHz and I think it's great with 1GB of ram in MorphOS:)
I saw a quite big diffrence between 512MB RAM and 1GB but then I use RAMDisk alot :)

What are y'all using the ram disk for? I see it there but never thought to use it for anything.

I download files there before copying them to HD (SFS framgents too badly if you have simultaneus downloads or if I don't want to keep downloaded file anyway (like some crap videos etc you are mistaken to dl)).

I unpack program archives there for installing (useless to have them on HD if it has separate installer).

I give test run for unpacked games etc from ram: if they are worth to keep or not (useless copies to HD again if I only want to run it once and get rid off it after that).

I throw all kinds of temp/test files there (image/video/audio processing stages)... etc.. :)

I do not see it as trolling, but anyway..

Even that could be considered as breach of AUP ("Members will not publicly question a moderator's decision.").

Good  for you. I use Windows until it's a better  solution.
As I said in the deleted  post, I would not have had an Apple Mac, even if they threw it after me.

But who gives a fook.  Please go to another rabid amiga forum.  This one is open minded and the people also on the whole.

There is a better solution. Linux, been around a while you know ;)

@OP - If you want it cheep I would buy an eMac 1,25GHz and remove the CRT and put a nice TFT on it instead, if you want something to do you could build a custom case for the eMac and use it as an external computer :) Also you can have 2GB of RAM in the eMac :)

Myself is either planning on removing the top plexi of the Mini and saw a red plexi top for it instead and engrave MorphOS and a logo in it, or ill just scrap the Mini case and start from scratch, ill do this when I got time :)

Red, Piru, can't you just ban this clown?

The only reason I have an Apple is MorphOS (and I have PCs as well). Eventually I'll put together an AROS PC (once its a little more stable), and I'd re-buy classic Amiga hardware but it costs too much and the hardware I have now outperforms the older systems.

I have no problem with anyone discussing any branch of Amiga computing.
So why do we have to put up with this dyslexic ass?

I'm not a moderator, so no.


And before someone asks: No I'm not interested.

MorphOS should been ported to something else. AppleMac is bad in my Amigaworld.

Thank you for this priceless piece of information. Could you please start your own thread about it? You're not answering any of the questions.
