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.

Honestly i hope you all waste your money buying second hand macs waiting for some pirate to port it ... It just show how much you care for the platform .

The platform is no longer hardware. It is software. Back in the heyday of the Amiga you paid much less to get much more. Now we've gone 180 degrees. You pay a ton of money to get an anemic machine. Amiga is software, not hardware. You support Amiga by buying the software. Bill McEwen has the visions of grandeur about having some quad core OS4 machine. He has it backwards. Why not think along the lines of this:

#1 Get the software into the hands of the masses (inexpensive generic PPC)
#2 Build the demand as a result of #1
#3 As a result of #2, the desire for more powerful apps will appear.
#4 And as a result of #3, the need for more powerful hardware will exist

Bill wants to skip right to #4 without even having significant numbers of users even able to play with the OS. No one wants to invest an exorbitant amount of money in a piece of hardware that is a gamble.

god I love this place :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why tell God you love this place? He already knows.

I concur. It isn't about Macintosh/Apple loyalty. It's about a cheaper and more powerful alternative to these A1s, etc.
