@runequester,

I was able to find a dual 1.25GHz G4 PowerMac w/2gb RAM & Radeon 9000Pro video card & SuperDrive for less than $35 and a 1.25GHz eMac for just the shipping charges.

Prices of all PPC Macs are falling fast, like every week the prices are cheaper, so if you have any patience (which all Amiga users should have from experience), you can find a good price on a used PPC Mac to run MorphOS2.x.  Many people have found them for free as they were being thrown out by friends, or at the places they work.

For Amiga users that are not sure they will like MorphOS2.x, I suggest that they find a G4 Mac that a friend has, or one they can get for free and install MorphOS2.7 on it (also free to try with 30 minute time limit) and try it out for 30 minutes at a time to see if they like what they see.  Also, ask questions and for help from experienced MorphOS2.x users while they are trying it out, so they get an accurate idea of what it is capable of.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
