I guess I dont have a dog in this race at the moment, but why would they send out a bunch of motherboards for free to random people on the internet ?
as far as "powerPC is dead!" or "OS4 is underpowered!!"... nyeh. Who cares. EVERY aspect of the amiga is "dead" and "outdated" and this will never change. Not 3.x, not 4.x, not morph os, not aros. People like to get tribal about this and pretend their particular choice is somehow better and totally unlike everything else.
On a big scale, nobody gives a crap about whether there's a new machine running OS4 costing a billion dollars. Nobody gives a crap that you can run morph os on a crap old mac. Nobody even knows what the hell AROS is.
What does matter is that YOU get personal enjoyment out of it.
My linux peecee can do everything that ANY of the above machines can do, faster, better, more stable, at less cost and with no limits on my freedom.
But I use my A1200 running 3.1 more because its fun to me.
I may buy a SAM because it looks like it's fun.
Some people use Morph OS because they think its fun.
Some people use AROS because they think its fun.
And you know what ? THats the only thing that matters. Not any of this tribal crap.
