"Time to Move On"

It was time to move on 10-15 years ago, so what?  

Old stuff is fun, from a time when computer tech was more diverse and exotic instead of mundane and boring like it is now.  Console tech continues to be innovative and interesting, but desktop tech is, meh.

Oh yeah and, +1 to everything Waccoon said in his last post.

I don't accept that as a reason for not porting OS4 to run on a Mac. Do you think Linux developers pay Apple a license fee for the privilege of porting Linux to Apple hardware? I don't think so. So why would AmigaOS be any different? The only problem with porting to Apple hardware is drivers, but that's no excuse when Linux PPC drivers already exist.

But Linux developers dont charge for the OS, Hyperion/Ainc etc would be wanting money for OS4, making it a commercial venture.
 
I doubt Apple would sit idley by as someone makes money hijacking their hardware?

Dont get me wrong, if Hyperion released OS4 for PPC-Mac tommorrow, I'd probably be in line for my copy and the MacMini here would soon have an identity crisis. :-D
