Just Registered MorphOS for $140.94 USD!!!
« on: June 25, 2010, 06:10:59 AM »
At long last, my dream has been realized, I now own PPC hardware (an eMac) to run MorphOS on, and have registered it (now hopefully I get my key by tomorrow).
 I'm not sure if this is still the sales price, but $140.94 USD really ain't that bad at all!

I'm still learning my way around (which is mostly familiar), and the community has been a GREAT help, but I can say from what I've experience, this is TOTALLY worth it and the way to go for any would be "Modern Amiga" owner who can not afford the 4.x route/additional option.

In the end I have invested under $200 and am ready for the future! :)

Thankx to all those who made this happen!!!

Thank you!

I had heard that it was possible to re-case an eMac, but wouldn't it require a bit of complex hacking to adapt it to an external VGA port and the like?

Hmm, might not be to very hard after all, though I'm not sure I'm up for the risk atm, but maybe someday down the road like when this monitor begins to fail. :)

I'm already brain storming on case ideas!

Check this out!

Looks like the eMac can output to TV's as well!

I got a friend who refuses to run Mac too. He'd rather hold out and buy as Sam, Peg or something. Honestly, I don't see the difference. I just covered the Mac logos with Amiga stickers (for now) and will do a re-painting, or re-casing job down the road.
 The guts of the machine seem to be good, it's just the logos that bother me. ;)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Broccoli yet!

This kind of reminds me of a few posts back when I was complaining about how main stream OS's always rape our extra resources when they become available, I.E. if you upgrade to a faster computer with more RAM, you know damn well that the next version of Windows, Linux or what ever will eat it up.

For what ever reason, people began to heckle me and say,"oh but what about videos, or large sound files, or cache from your web browsing etc".

The irony of their heckling is the fact that if modern OS's did not waste so much ram and CPU power just to operate, then their would be more resources left over for our video, audio, and the like.

Compare OSX to MorphOS and you'll see a prime example of this.

Needless to say, as soon as my eMac arrived from Indiana, I booted it once to laugh, then formatted and installed MorphOS. :)

@Jeff, congrats on your purchase! I'm glad to see others are registering MorphOS as well!
