He made a mistake. Be nice! :)

You know that Mr Szabo has made some useful software for the Amiga over the years such as XFR.

http://www.psi5.com/~silva/afilter/

and also a searchable interface to the Amiga Demo Encyclopedia which is very useful

... on the amigaone thing. If you want AmigaOS compatible computer with some faster ppc hardware, then in my opinion Pegasos/Morphos is the only way to go. Although I would prefer to be able to run Morphos on something like a Mac Mini :-)

There is a morphos browser based on Konqeror being developed. I don't think there is a version of firefox for amigaos4. There have been projects, but none of them I think are active (Correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm also not convinced amigaos4 offers anything more than morphos in terms of functionality. Infact I read you can run much amigaos4 software on morphos (Correct me if I'm wrong) :)

In a real world where people have logical business ideas, I would be able to go out and buy a pegasos, or other PPC hardware, and buy amigaos4 and morphos for it.

But this is amigaworld (snigger), where everything is upside down.

You are wrong.


Oh.. well. I know about those. and if those are your examples I do not think I am wrong.. Amizilla does not seem active (Certainly going by the CVS and news on site). I personally don't think it will ever be finished, But I would love to be proved wrong.
