Natami started and stopped again

The idea that linux is an option is ridiculous.
Yes it serves its purpose, but that purpose in no way shape or form scratches an amiga itch.
MorphOS is a much better option, and worth the money if you enjoy amiga paradigms in your OS (as is AROS or OS4).

A thousand bananas for $1 isnt as interesting as 50 oranges for $10 if a person dislikes bananas and enjoys oranges.  That's just the way it is.

Yeah, I get that, Im just saying its moot.
Things only have value to people that are interested in them.
To an amiga os (or related) fan Linux' being free has no baring on the value of amiga related system, ergo questioning MorphOS' value because of what hardware and/or software is available to Linux is ridiculous.

For the record Im not even a MorphOS user. My interest is mostly 68k, and to a lesser extent x86 AROS, but that doesnt make my comments any less valid.
A person pays what they think something is worth. Its completely moot how much another system costs, what hardware it runs on or what software it has if its of no interest.

Ironically the fact that Linux and its distros are predominantely free speaks volumes

Now in regards toMorphOS updates (cant recall who mentioned it), its a bit of an imaginitive stretch isnt it?
Is it free to update from MOS 1.x to 3.6? That'd be the more accurate parallel with Windows updates.
WinXP updates were free for over 10 years. Vista updates have been free for about 7 years, Win7 updates free since its release and so on.

Also, and again a different point that was touched on in this thread, but Im really not surprised there's been no interest in aros for x1000. AROS already runs on hardware 5x as powerful for %10 of the price .
