Port it for MacPPC and charge 200 euro!

And why not 2000€?

~$99 for an Efika and ~$160 for MorphOS? That sounds like a no-brainer to me!

Uber-expensive! They could charge 800$ and there would be BMF defending the price/distribution scheme. They'll tell you MorphOS2.0 won't make them rich but they insist in reducing the number of possible sales charging 3 times more than they should charge.

The EFIKA runs circles around the best, top of the line Amiga. You want a compact OS like AmigaOS, well its arrived.

Sorry for nitpicking... but a CSPPC with Deneb is both more expensive and faster on IO operations :-) USB2 is much faster and HD is much faster too. gfx operations and number crunching is weaker on classics.

Of course, for the price of such an equipment you could buy a complete Peg2/G4 with MorphOS2.0 that would run rings over both computers :-D

Do I get more for an $100 Efika and $179 MorphOS or more by donating $279 towards an AROS bounty? Which is the better ROI as a consumer / end-user?

From a customer's viewpoint and in the long term, an AROS donation, of course.

The reason is that you can run AROS in the hardware you choose.

And to put an OS like SkyOS down as "nothing" when it runs Firefox but AROS dosen't also seems very odd.

You can run AROS hosted and Firefox together :-)
