but Apple STILL supplies one mouse button and think this is a good design idea :roflmao:


Yeahsurewhateveryousay.....

Magic Mouse has 1 physical button, so much is true, but whit the help of it touch surface it can simulate pretty much as many as you like.

Even if paired with a MorphOS-computer it will come out as 2 button (without any drivers on the MorphOS-side).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

OS4 for G5 exist ???

Assuming you mean that A1X1K thingie .... much closer to a modest G4 than any G5 in terms of performance.

MorphOS-team at one point decided that it's more important to support decent laptops (PowerBooks) than hunting down more power only sensible for apps we don't have.

Sure I can run AROS from 20-core-AMD-you-don't-need-no-heating-anymore down to some obscure ARM-SOC (but I have to be ultracarefull to choose the right HW when I don't want to go hosted), but what than ???
Run those same old 3D-demos at 400fps ?? Or maybe that minimalistic OWB-version (as long as Wanderer doesn't crash on me) ?

All 3 flavours allready have enough HW to run on, whats missing is the SW to make the systems really useable and in the field I see MorphOS clearly ahead (to some great extent due to Fab's OWB).

@Digiman

Have you actually ever used a MacBook ??

You know that those trackpads are multitouch and OSX regognises "gestures" ?

Sure it's not the same as a trackpad with 3 buttons + dedicated scrolling area, no it's much better !

Heck I find the relative primitive 2 touch touchpad of my PBs much more intuive/useable than any touchpad I've come across on Wintel-laptops.

Well, I'm not allowed to tell you details, but 3.0 can detect multitouch and utilizes them similar to MacOS10.5.
