79 available systems for MorphOS 3.5

[pVC]

The machine I was thinking of was a Mac where the whole computer was built into the monitor.  The monitor only accepted 1024x768 max.  So the computer hardware was limited to 1024x768.  Therefore MOS was limited to 1024x768.  This is what I was told.

Yeah it's eMac: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/emac/specs/emac_1.25.html

Max resolution is 1280 by 960 pixels at 72 Hz...

I am very glad that most MorphOS machines can display 1280x1024 or higher. :banana:

It's very unpopular among the MorphOS users, who would want crt nowadays Only good thing with it is its price.. I guess nobody has paid anything of those

Wow, I can't believe so many people here are lauding the use of a backward OS on a whopping 73 systems that are so obsolete that it's laughable. Those systems are 8+ years out of date.  If you're looking for nostalgia, get a classic system or emulate using one of the UAE variants.  There's simply no reason to buy a system to run MorphOS or even OS4 for that matter.  None of the NG systems have a productivity suite or even a browser that is useful enough to read the news! You guys keep right on buying those MOS licenses and keep holding your breath while waiting for some useful applications.  Simply ridiculous.....

Maybe you should try to use MorphOS some time? At least before talking like that. Browser and other programs are closer to mainstream than ever before. I can do all the things I need with MorphOS today, I'm not waiting for anything, I enjoy.

With classic system / emulation you can't get as modern software as on MorphOS while having Amiga compatibility. And you can get MorphOS machine cheaper than classic system.

Computer HW got "fast enough" 8+ years ago. Heck, they still sell slower systems than my MorphOS machines even today (cheapest laptops, netbooks, RasPIs and other that kind of devices). My PC is older than my MorphOS machines and it's still fine for me too. My PS3 is almost as old as my MorphOS machines and it's still fine for me, and for many others too. Get real.

No, it isn't outdated.  I bought a PegII and a license for MOS back in 2008 and played with it for about 4 months ...(clip)... let it sit in my garage for a couple years and then finally sold it.

Sounds like your information and user experience is really outdated.

I didn't buy an iBook hoping that some day it will be compatible. I bought an iBook because THEY said it is compatible. It has nothing to do with virtue, it is about being responsible.

It is unfortunate situation and in no way intented, but they said it'll be fixed reasonably quickly with the upcoming bug fix release. They know their responsibilities and do the best...

Well, you might be willing to wait several years for a useful productivity suite for MOS, but most people who work for a living can't wait that long.  Yes, it's been 5 years and I'm still waiting.  It would be nice if there was a spreadsheet program for MOS or OS4 or something for presentations, but I'm certain it will be another 5 years and you guys will still be waiting.  How long would you suggest MOS and OS4 users continue to wait?  5 years, 10 years, etc...

As I said, I have everything I need currently. I'm not waiting those office suites. Many others won't do their real work on their home/hobby systems either. There are some new solutions too, like Scriba or Google docs for example. And if you don't need to send files to other people, all old programs do the basic job just fine. If you need something, don't generalize it for everybody else, why are you telling to them that they shouldn't buy the systems and flood this informative thread?

A decent DVD/BD player would also be nice or USB support that isn't broken......USB has been a standard for well over 10 years and I never could get it to work properly under OS4 (still broken).  It would constantly corrupt whatever storage device I used.....

I haven't had any problems with USB on MorphOS. Lets not generalize OS4 problems to all NG systems please.

oh, and don't get me started on printing.....printer support under MOS or OS4 is abysmal....and that hasn't changed either in 5 years...oh, and then there's Flash, java, etc....I could go on, but I won't.

I have no problems using network printer on MorphOS. If you use printer supporting postscript , which almost all modern printers do (except the very cheapest ink printers), you'll be fine with printing.

Flash support is partial, but luckily you don't need it on many places anymore. Youtube and other video sites do work without it nowadays etc. And of course java isn't available, but really, how many people will really need it? I've never installed it on any of my machines nor my relatives' machines and nobody has cared about it. It's just one word to yell when you don't have any more arguments.

They fixed it pretty much immediately, not sure if they will release the fix any quickly though, unless you can quote them on that?

Well, traditionally they've made release with new features and then next release more quickly with just bug fixes. I'm pretty sure it was said somewhere with this case too.

Ah ok, hopefully you are right, thanks

Does it work now?
