Amount of MorphOS copies sold

[smerf]

Hi,

You all made some pretty good points, that is why I use Cloanto's Amiga Forever, the OS may be old, but at least my hardware is great, and it runs like a screaming banshee. I love playing all the old Amiga games on it and it plays doom (some peoples benchmark) at a real nice speed.

So the number of Morphos users doubled, it went from 2 to 4.  Just honky doory.

If someone can tell me, will morphos run on an Amiga 1200 with a ppc card. Maybe I will go to the site and do some reading who knows you might get another double if I buy into morphos.

If it uses a MAC I don't want it in my house, or on my bench.

Hi,

Isn't that chart upside down.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the number of registered MorphOS users exceeded the amount of Windows users a long time ago. Is this not correct?

Hi,

@Pyromania,

Ha, ha, ha, huh?

You make um big joke, the number of registered MorphOS users, is about half the population of Podunk Idaho. (3)

HI,

"MorphOS Amiga done right"

Why do we insult the original Amiga creators and users with a saying like this. The only thing Amiga like about MorphOS is that it is an emulator being used on what else but ugh! A MAC.

If morphOS was being created to be used on anything else but a MAC I would give it a whirl. Most of you newbees like probably takemehomegrand don't remember how the Mac people used to laugh at and criticize the Amiga.

with saying like:

Its a fairy good computer if you like playing simple games.

The Amiga a work computer    Paleeease

When the Amiga can do good desktop publishing instead of cartoonish papers tell them to try to compete with a MAC

and now drumroll please

you expect me to buy a Mac and call it an Amiga.......

Why don't you take your MorphOS and you emulator program and go to a Mac board and try to sell it there. They ought to be thrilled that they can have an Amiga emulator.

If MorphOS was used on any other system besides a MAC, I might give it a whirl, but as long as it is on a Mac or apple product. Don't even insult me as one of the first Amiga users that it is an Amiga. I would rather put my hands in a dead burning Amiga to try to save it then touch a Mac.

By the way, to all of you who don't know, I worked for Commodore selling Amiga's for over three years, all three years I won salesman of the year award by my store for selling Amiga's, and really got tired of hearing , no thanks I will buy a Mac because it is a real computer by some real stupid people who after questioning them why they thought the Mac was a real computer? their answer was because my friend has one.

Now I really don't like PC's either, but seeing that I had to choose something, I chose a PC because most of the people who bought Amiga's owned PC's and they thought the Amiga was better and watched my demo and where amazed by what it could do, while the stuck up snobish Mac people just said I don't want a toy.

OK, then you're obligated to buy a Pegasos or Efika as MorphOS ran on those before it was ported to Macs. Or you could run it on a PPC equipped Amiga (which the original version of MorphOS ran on before the Pegasos was designed).

Just because you're anti-Apple doesn't mean you can slam our OS.

Hi,

@Iggy,

At one time was really enthused about MorphOS and couldn't wait to get a PPC card for my Amiga, then when I finally put one together and got it up and running, the Amiga one just upped and disappeared from your boards.

I notice that when people on this board say how great Cloanto's Amiga Forever is you all bash it because it runs on a PC, but it works real well and I don't have to dirty my hands by touching a Mac or wasting my money on a computer that I just can't stand.

Last week I accidently got pushed in a Sams by a person in a hurry and touched a Mac. I got sick for a week, and the first hour after touching it I threw up. It was really disgusting, not the throwing up, but the touching a Mac.

Anyhow I wish the best for MorphOS, a lot of Mac people will probably find it useful, because it has to be better and do more than their operating system.

Hi,

@Takemehomegrandma,

"You didn't read quite the whole thread before making that post, did you?"

Hold on please, I am down to page 256 of your post, should finish it within the next hour, Thanks

And you went to insult your customers then?

Hi,

No, I sure wouldn't insult a customer, I just pointed those people to the Apple representative, and then just watched, he was a real snobbish A##hole, most people walked away from him and they just left the store or came back to talk to me.

I just wish MorphOS would have continued their support for the PPC Amiga board, but then again we are talking about a real rare beast, aren't we. I really have no qualms about MorphOS just the platform they run on.

To all you AOS4 users, I have AOS4.1 for my Amiga 1200 with a 240mhz ppc blizzard board, Commodore 64 users would be happy to hear that their computer is faster. Is Aos4.1 usable on the Amiga with a PPC, I have it just for a curiosity, a very slow curiosity.
Just have a lot of beer while you are waiting for it to do something.

Do you have any evidence to back up that claim?

Hi,

". MorphOS registration statistics are utterly worthless as a base for user number estimations (estimations != facts), since everyone knows that MorphOS users has piles..."

Oh wow!!

MorphOS users have piles, I know all about them, they itch like heck sometimes, and you know it usually happens in public where you really are to embarrassed to scratch. I believe it is at that time you run to the nearest restroom if you can find one, sometimes you try to scratch secretly by putting your crack on the corner of the table, oh man how all those MorphOS users must suffer. A little prep H though soothes the pain for at least a couple of hours, just don't use to much because it will bleed through your pants and it looks like you botched in your pants.
