MorphOS Milestone: 2000+ licenses sold

[smerf]

Another part of the Apple invasion into the Amiga market which Steve Jobs started some 20 odd years ago. They just keep on trying.

@fishy fiz,

You are correct sir, I tried it, and somewhat like what I see, but face it, $200 for a OS that is still being developed, is about $151 more than Micro soft windows 8.

For that $49 that I spent for Windows 8, there is support for the computer that I am using if needed. I can buy just about any PC I want to use, and best of all there is software development and game development for it, and I don't have to wait 10 years for it to come out. GREAT STUFF.

yes but the point is that by buying a legit copy of MorphOS or AmigaOS4.x or using AROS (since it's already free) your supporting the current Amiga market & that's the main reason why most of us are here after all

Hi,

You Sir are correct, that is why I keep dropping in here  is  to see what the latest devel's are, I  got my mini mac ready and will probably buy MorphOS once I like what I see, but right now I am investing all my extra cash, which is hard to come by since I retired, to fix a bunch of broken Amiga's that I came across, I have 2 A500's, 2 A3000's, 5 CD32 mother boards, and an Amiga 4000 and a Mac in an apple tree and all this I got  was free.

Hopefully I will be able to resurrect some of them. If  not I will use them for parts,  I already have plans of removing the caps from one of the really bad CD32's for the A4000, which looks like it has a bunch of dried out caps,  the two A500's looks  like bad Gary chips,  I know  for sure one is bad, the other I think is barely hanging in there. Play with it more tommorow.

Anyhow as most of you know Amiga and Apple where really bad  enemies when back in the days that the Amiga first came out. I guess the Apple salesman was right when he told everyone "Which would you trust more, Amiga a new machine with fancy show, or a strong dedicated proven machine like apple which will be  here long after the Amiga is dead and gone. I will never  forget when I heard him tell  a customer that.

anyhow onward and upwards "What will come first,  a new Amiga, AROS, or MorphOS"

Competition is fierce, and MorphOS who I believe is the underdog, may arise through a comeback victory.  

Any one know what happened to DraCo, are they still going?

Yeah Smurf,
But none of my money went into Bill Gates' pocket.
And my iBook was less than $100 on eBay.

BTW - I'm not a big Apple fan either.
But on the used market, their old hardware is cheap and works well.

Hi,

@Iggy,

Do you know what happens when sheet hit the fan, it becomes apples sauce and that is pretty cheap too.

Well Bill Gates supports charity, and donates a lot of bucks to it, so I am pretty happy where my money went, and at  least he didn't lie like some religions did.

You know apple products sound like Obummer, I did this, I ordered that, I gave the order, I approved the plans, I sent the seals I, I, I, I.

By the way Iggy, glad to see you back and well, I classify you as one of my friendly enemies, you always keep me straight.
