I hear you.  I haven't decided whether I should register or not yet, either.

€150 for a keyfile is unfortunately too steep a price.  €50 would be reasonable.

Well I would agree if you were just buying a keyfile, but you are actually buying an entire OS and repaying the team of coders that have worked so long and hard to bring you such a fine PPC OS.


By all means, they are doing a great job, and I love PPC.  But, still, €150 is still quite a chump.

Edit: I agree that MOS2.x is expensive and not worth the money when compared to other OSes, but I look at it differently because I choose to support the development team for the future.  I don't hold it against any that don't feel the same way, but will always try to encourage them to change their minds.  :-D


I agree, and trust me, I will squeeze every penny and see if I can afford it.  I have a family to support, so I have a very limited "amiga budget".

But, I still think the price is unfortunate and may prevent curious users from trying it. Let's hope I'm wrong.
