MorphOS 3.0 released - PowerBook G4 support and new pricing

[jj]

I'm honestly staggered that more people aren't annoyed that built in wifi in the PB's simply is non existent in 3.0. I sourced a cheap PB compatible with 3.0, only to find out it's a paperweight. A laptop without wireless support at OS level is a brick, a doorstop, a paperweight in this day and age. You don't buy a laptop with childish glee, dreaming about plugging it into a CAT 5 cable.
 
Just me on this one, lol? A PCMCIA card isn't an option on a laptop, it just rapes battery life even if it is supported by the OS.

Sad to say I have to agree with this.

Actually, I posted this thread on MorphZone just before the release of 3.0.

And, yes, it still pisses me off that more effort wasn't put toward this.
I have no interest in a tethered notebook.

The argument that most people do not move their laptops around is probably correct.  The alienware Laptop I have just ordered is a desktop replacement, and my current laptops spend most of their time on the coffee table.

That is not to say that Me or the wife would be happy with a  CAT5 cable trailing across the living room.

The apparent lack of interest of getting wifi capabilities in the os is really starting to sour things for me.

The future update will this be wirelss for pcmcia cards, usb wirless dongles, the bulit in wirless on PBs , the airport cards in mac minis, or all  ?

Ok thanks for the info.  USB dongles would obviously be the best other solution

Clearly AROS and MOS have reverse engineered whatever OS4 team used from OS3.x

It comes down to which host machine you're prepared to buy, if Macs don't make you puke you can run MOS however Mac is worse than Atari computers and of no interest to me from 1984--> as XP is better than OSX too thanks. Apple computers are for clueless nobs FACT.

I'm not buying an X1000 or £1000 SAM so really, like many other people worldwide, only AROS is of any interest

£300 for a $hit half decade old powerbook 1.67ghz? lol no *pass*

To be fair there is s much bollocks in that post I just don't know where to start
