About the only real thing I like about it is that it might be possiable to, at some point, try Amgia OS 4.0 or MorphOS without having to buy the hardware. That is if one could buy just the OS. I am interested in OS 4.0 but I am not willing to spend upwards of $1000 dollars on the hardware necessary to put a system together, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, case, power supply. That is an expensive risk for me. I can't just toss that type of money around. That is why I don't have an A1. Now if I could give the OS a "test run" even if it is slow. I could see if I liked it, if it would do the things I need etc. If it does then you bet I would spend the money to be able to run on native software. One thing they could do about illeagle copies is to require a dongle if the OS is not booted on "native" hardware. But that would be up to them. We all know that if it can be done someone will get OS 4.0 to work in emulation at sometime. If for no other reason than to say that it can be done. It doesn't have to be a real "Bad" thing for Amiga. Like I said it would be a lot eaiser to buy just the OS and give it a trial, even if the emulation was slow. Then decide if I want to buy the hardware. But, I would only do this if the OS was avaliable to buy, I would not "download" it. As it is I don't think I will ever get an other Amiga. I have heard that the price will never come down and might even go up. Over $700 for a motherbord running a G3, no memory, no graphics, no sound, no case, no powersupply. I understand that PPC has many, many advantages but it is also very, very expensive. Who would wan't to buy an G3 Amiga for alomst as much money then it would cost them to get an Apple? Who are they kidding??
