Torture!

I made up my mind about this type of "support" long ago.
Yes I was naive and bought 3.9 in they days too even if
I barely used it, I think I got it installed though.

Nowdays If Anything Amiga want my support it better
"sell" itself to me. I don't demand it to be up-to-date
with software etc. but I would guess it needs some more than
the box it came in to be usable.

Does it matter what kind of hardware you're running the OS on?  

We've heard that before even from Carl and from Dave but
I don't know it just doesn't seem to sink in.

..and if Hyperion announced support for Mac hardware
today then it suddently would be all glory and perfect, dancing bananas´and all that. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

No. If Hyperi1on announced support for affordable and easy to obtain hardware then people would be happy and Hyperion would sell many copies.

It has nothing to do with the Mac. I has to do with:
a) Amiga, Inc. and Hyperion will never port it to x86
b) A 1.4 GHz G4 Mac Mini can be had for $250US or less and is more powerful than the $1000US A1

You cannot blame people for not wanting to spend $1000 for an underpowered machine. The argument that the OS is so lightweight that it doesn't need a powerful machine is invalid when it comes to the pure economics of things. Plus, there are a number of Mac Mini G4 owners who have long since upgraded yet kept their Minis around for something or another. Many of these folks would love to install OS4.

Well, you missed my point a little, but I don't care.
For the rest of what you wrote, I agree with you.
