Next MorphOS version: 3.0! (Not 2.8)

[Cammy]

I run MorphOS on my 400Mhz Efika and it flies, so it'll be running at warp speed on a PowerBook!

I'm thinking of a way to freeze myself until December so I don't have to wait so long to get MorphOS 3.0 for my PowerBook.

I've been using the unregistered version of MorphOS on my Efika for a while now. I never paid the license fee because I've always intended on getting more powerful hardware to run MorphOS on when I take the dive and register it. In that time I've found it to be a dream to use, and I would far rather use MorphOS than any other OS like OSX, Linux, Haiku, RiscOS, or that other one from Microsoft. The only OS I maybe like more is AmigaOS 3.1, not because it's superior but because I just love and enjoy using it so much, and it has screen dragging unlike MorphOS. But MorphOS is awesome, it's got everything I want in an OS so once MorphOS 3.0 comes out I'll be using it for nearly everything, I can't see the Linux PC getting much use after that. Oh, this is my new hardware to run MorphOS 3.0 on come December:



I try not to let the grumpy developers turn me off using a wonderful OS. No one has really been able to provide a better alternative system to their current hardware-locking registration system so I guess we'll just have to put up with it for now. I'm sure that no one would have any trouble selling used hardware with a MorphOS license if they advertised it on the Amiga and MorphZone forums.

I wish it was the 1.67Ghz model, but they're going for waaay too much. It's actually the smallest, slowest model supported, the 15" 1.5Ghz G4, but I don't mind because it's just as fast as the Mac Mini I had hoped to get, and it is smaller so it'll fit behind my monitor easier, which I hope to use through the DVI port my Efika currently takes up. Unfortunately the screen is busted and needs a good wiggle and a bashing to work, and one of the RAM slots is also dead so I can only upgrade it to 1GB (currently it has 512MB). But it only cost me $125 + $25 postage (and another $25 for an aftermarket PSU which it didn't come with). I really shouldn't have spent this much but I was forced to buy it after I impulsively sent the offer of $125 and it was accepted (the original asking price was $170).
