I can't believe you are not running MorphOS on that Power Mac. It is so much fun! Yes yes, no AGA chipset, no Paula, but very enjoyable none the less! I can't say I felt sad at all when I began to wipe OS X from the drive of my last Mac. :)


Anyhow, I would really like to swing by some time and check out your set up some day.

My Amiga(s) gets used on an almost daily basis, primarily for musick/noiz composition.

Sometimes I use the Amiga's paint programs, do a little gaming, etc.

I have a ton of video production hardware I'll be hooking up to it after I move.

Def not my only computer though, I also use MorphOS and AROS, not to mention Amithlon and a PC for all those apps we don't have. :/

My A1200 was my main Computer, until two years ago. Now its my second machine.

In my humble opinion, i dont feel any Powerbook G4, or similar systems, be a Real Amiga. For me its just any computer running AmigaOS, or like AmigaOS distribution.

But anyway if you enjoy, and work, then ... there is nothing more to say :afro:


I'm not trying to claim that my MorphOS machine is an Amiga, but....


Damn does it feel like one! Minus the Paula and AGA of course!

I think if I were going to run an alt OS next to my Amiga, I'd rather it be Amiga like, or worst case scenario (and this ain't a bad scenario at all) BeOS/Haiku! :)
