If you have a Mac Mini and want Amiga, use MorphOS. MorphOS works natively and outperforms OS4. As far as I know, MorphOS can run OS4 apps as well. Hyperion seems a bit flaky to me and I would rather use something I know supports my hardware.

There are various ways to measure success. For me in this particular case it doesn't mean making ton of money. It means making MorphOS available on a cheap and easily available hardware. In this the Mac mini has been a sounding success (EFIKA was great as well, although low in memory unfortunately).

The number of sold licenses and their distribution will remain a undisclosed matter.

I hope this makes my point clear to anyone and I don't need to comment on this further.

Happy weekend everyone!


I don't usually agree with you Piru, but I am in 100% agreement here. X1000 is all very nice but realistically MorphOS in a Mac Mini is a much more viable solution to most enthusiasts.

I'll continue to disbelieve him when he says the move to MacMini was a huge success.


Well, I'll put it this way. I am cheap. I have two mortgages, two kids with a third on the way. My wife stays home with the kids. And *I* liked the demo well enough to buy it for my G4 Mini. I'd say it was a success if they were able to get me to open my wallet. :)

Well, based on your logic people only buy MorphOS to look at the desktop since there's no decent software to use.  I had hoped that the MOS team would actually develop or port some decent apps to MOS, but in 3 years it hasn't happened and I'm certain it'll be the same in 3 more years.  I wasn't looking for a system to compete with anything.  I was looking for s system that was useful.  I'm still waiting.


Define decent software. Decent seems relative to me. MorphOS does what I need it to do. Web, email, I can SSH to my server, I can remote desktop to Windows. Whoa, no PC games? Whoops.. I have 1000s of old Amiga games to enjoy and if I need something modern I have a PS3. I am not a "gamer" so that aspect is more or less moot. MorphOS is completely usable on a day to day basis.
