Torture!

As much as I don't like A1260's posting style I think he/she may have a point here - this must be the second thread you've made with no real point to it Moto. Usually your non-coffee house posts are all very logical and objective, but recently it's just been:

"I am buying OS4 knowing I won't be able to run it , but wouldn't it be REALLY nice if I was able to run it.. can someone give me a very expensive PPC card or just port the classic edition to PPC Macs please"

I know it sounds like I'm having a go but this really is starting to sound like those "port OS4 to XYZ" threads we used to get in the masses. It's getting silly, and I'm sorry to have to say it but you sound childish.

If you are just taking the piss and trying to liven up the place a bit just say now and I'll delete this post and shut my arse up but I really feel I had to post this observation.

Well no I guess, but you've been saying it a lot.

It can be hard to recognise sarcasm in text...

True.

And are you surprised there is a renewed interest in getting OS4 running on a Mac now it's available? Don't you think there is value in that given that the OS is finally available? Or would you prefer for OS4 to remain available only to those who own rare and expensive hardware?

I am certainly not surprised by the interest, but the daydreaming is almost on par with that of the "port OS4 to etc." threads.

The PPC Mac version was a rumour that came from someone at Hyperion stating that they got it running on one.

If this is true then it certainly isn't going to be available anytime soon (and if it is I'll eat my hat) simply and logically because that would be closer to the A1 version than the classic. If a patch was released it would require an OS4 A1 installation at the very least, something which has been available to a lucky few for a very long time. So, how are we in a different situation now?

If you are talking about someone at Hyperion leaking a patch then how exactly would that help them at Hyperion, and why now just because they are doing what is legally within their right to release the Classic Version?
