Why no new hardware for MorphOS??

Ditto that. I finally broke down and purchased a MorphOS machine. To be correct, a PowerMac G4 at 150$. Add the cost of MorphOS to that and I have a 300$ system. Which is money I can spare for the amount I'm likely to use it. The X1000 simply doesn't justify itself cost-wise.

I would have paid for OS4 on a Mac Mini...

Probably because you're thinking like a purist, Franko. I stopped thinking that way a lllloooonnnngggg time ago...

purist..nah...just can't get over my dislike of Macs period..really have nothing against MOS and would definitely buy a copy if they decide to port it over to new existing PPC machines like the Sam440/460 and X1000.

Well, my comment was directed at Franko. I thought he was in the 68k, Amiga hardware only category... my bad.

As to porting, then your cost of ownership goes up and you lose people like me. Sams and the X1000 are just too much. My humble opinion, of course. I think MorphOS choice to port to Mac hardware is the smarter move IF the OS must be on PPC.

Of course, I also think that it isn't necessary for the OS to remain on PPC, so I also don't thing MorphOS' move is the smartest move.
