Really!? THAT useless? Please feel free to donate it to me :-D I'll pay shipping and everything and even send you an x86 for your AmigaForever if you want! ;-) Heck and I'll even include a real Amiga!

Cheers!

PS. Amiga OS on a (PPC) Mac would be fantastic! Albeit not likely

Yeah, I was also aware of the Mac Mini ports, but because of the KNUKLEHEADED A. Inc., it's "albeit not likely" :~(

I would *so* love to have Amiga OS 4 on my Mini.

Bill McEwen is literally inducing pain to me because of this stubborn refusal to give out licenses that will make HIM more money. This pain of mine will manifest in ways that he will experience as painful himself. All in due time... What goes around, comes around bubba!

Hmmmm...  :evilgrin:


@Kronos:

I see your logic, and it makes sense. What I don't understand is how does it *stop* Hyperion from releasing/selling such a (blockbuster, in my opinon) version of OS4, since they're now selling the same with the Clsasic version, right? The only way it would stop them, in my mind, is if A. Inc. is threatening even more lawsuits about it. While A. Inc. might not care about the Classic OS4, since they know that only like 500 (too much?) have a PPC equipped classic. Dunno...



@-D-:

I agree with your statements. There were other reasons for not doing it. I'm certain Mac hardware wasn't that hard to support, and actually most "new world" Macs are not quite unlike each other.

Releasing it for HW not listed in the contract would be the biggest favour Hyperion could do to AInc atm....

Right. And by your last sentence, you mean that it will give a better reason for AInc to sue, right?

And if that's right, then my initial statement is still true: Bill & co (I'm beginning to doubt that there's anybody else except him - the company has got to be a front...) is causing me great pain for not allowing, indirectly as it may be, a PPC release of OS4 on Mac hardware.  :madashell:
