yes i know there are the mac but all this hardware is old and used without any sort of warranty..


But you can buy 4 or 5 Apple systems for the price of just one of those low-production systems!

(I must be buying the wrong type of iMacs...)


I think all iMacs are wrong if you want to run MorphOS.

You need an eMac. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=emac+1.25&_sacat=0&_odkw=emac+1.33&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

Even those are cheap over in the UK.

ok i understood, so the problem is the user base..


Actually, there is no "problem" that I can see.  Feel free to keep inventing them, though.

OT, but I paid $19.2k for my TDI NEW. :afro:


Taking the OT ball and running with it, I'm waiting for a TDI Beetle in the $3000 range to pop up, getting tired of this old air cooled antique.

IWhat I really want is 3 phase to my garage so I can play with the really big stuff at home ;)


This is what kept me from grabbing a very good deal on a Cray.

MorphOS works on very narrow range of PowerBook models with specific video chips inside. MorphOS does not work on PowerBooks, period.


I find it hard to believe Piru wasted his time arguing with someone who obviously can't reason their way out of a paper bag.

All fine and good - but what if they are no longer available second hand?
After all they aren't in production any longer...

What will MOS run on if this source is dryed out one day?
Are there any plans?


Now that's kind of a silly question.

Old Amigas haven't dried up on the used market yet, and they're 20+ years old.  Lets do the math and figure out how many more G4 Macs were made than Amigas.  I figure they'll be around quite a while.
