I think OS4 CAN be run on MAC MINI (USABLE)

The Mac Mini decision is a good _short term_ strategy. Long term, it's a dead end. Using it MorphOS can grow a user base -- whereas the X1000 will probably go nowhere -- and if MorphOS is wise, they'll use the larger user base to move into newer hardware when they're ready.

Of course, as a strategy, I doubt it will beat AROS, since AROS gets users more powerful, less expensive hardware that will grow with the future. MorphOS' strategy will last only as long as the Mac Minis last.

My two cents.

Well not quite as we're not limiting ourselves to Mac mini. We already support eMac aswell, and we're looking at bringing support to some PowerMac G4s and PowerBook G4 next.

All these machines combined will cover any possible needs for HW for a very long time. As I've stated before we're well aware that it will not last forever, though, but until then we have very nice HW to play with.

Well, I was speaking more metaphorically than I was literally. As I've said before, I applaud MorphOS' strategy over Hyperion's, it's the smarter strategy, but it's still ultimately a dead-end. If you want to grow your user base, and grow it fast: x86. Of course, I also realize that you guys are all invested in PPC, so I'm merely pointing out the reality of the situation.
