You'll get flamed and burn in hell for those statements for sure Red :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I too think that MorphOS has a slight edge over AOS4.x at this moment in time and the edge is made much larger when you consider that it is available with hardware in the form of the Efika.  Not much horsepower in that form, but at least some kind of new hardware is available.

Perhaps if Hyperion wins the right to distribute AOS4.x on other hardware platforms they will be able to gain more interest and catch up with MorphOS.  I think it is good to have choices, but in this case, it divides an already tiny community in many ways.  I don't want to see either OS lose, but can't see myself spending much money to keep both when they are so similar.  I will probably end up being a MorphOS supporter unless something drastic happens and happens soon (within the next year) for the AmigaOS4.x team and Hyperion.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Well, i've got a Peg and an AmigaOne. The peg ended up in the loft and the AmigaOne gets used every day, so i guess I found OS4 to be nicer :-)

Ideally, both should be readily available on reasonably priced hardware so people could make up their minds from having both in their hands. Life hasn't worked out that way, though, which really sucks.


Is your Peg a 1 or a 2?  If a 2, is it a G4 1gHz, or slower?  What CPU and speed is your AmigaOne?

I know that there were lots more problems with the Peg1's compared to the Peg2's and also wondered if your AmigaOne was comparable to your Peg with the same CPU and clock speed?

If not, then it isn't a fair comparison.  Do you think your Peg would be in the attic collecting dust if it had the same hardware spec as your AmigaOne?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the AmigaOne and AmigaOS4.x.  I am glad that you have a good working AmigaOne and that it works well for you in your everyday use.  I am hoping that I will someday be able to say the same thing about using either an AOS4.x, or MOS2.x machine of my own.  I would much rather use one of those two Amiga-Like choices than my PC tower, or Mac laptop.
