Amiga on Apple G4 Cube
« on: May 23, 2010, 11:46:34 PM »
Okay, I know this sounds like heresy, but is it possible to run Classic AmigaOS on an Apple G4 Cube?

If not, how about one of the more recent iterations?

There's one on fleabay right now that's not that high (at this point in time) and IF it can, I think that would look really cool.

That's what he said.

With regard the original question, you could always run UAE on MacOS on your cube.


Guess I could, but actually, I despise the Mac OS.  Just something about it that puts me in a really bad mood.

Oh well, I think I'll pass on this one.  Although I do like the styling of the cube and always have.  Apple's OS have always put me off my feed, but their hardware is generally innovative and stylish.

Probably left over resentment that Apple won and Amiga lost.  I felt that for a number of years before I got over it and became a Mac fan...


I don't think it's that.  I didn't like the Apple II either.  Just don't like the computer.

I like Macs. They are super user-friendly. If someone is asking about ease-of-use on a Windows system it is usually compared against a Mac. The 2 things that stand out for me on MacOS is the icon driven interface and the inbuilt networking.


Yeah, easy to use...

Got a Mac Classic for my dad when he decided his Commodre 64 had become too aged.  Amazingly enough, he could still lose a file without even trying real hard.  He'd click and hold a file then accidently lift the mouse button and the thing would replicate into infinity!  Try cleaning THAT up!

I was all for the Mac, because then I wouldn't have to be his tech support!  My sister is a Mac person, so I pawned that responsibilty on her!

Just had a thought!  No, it didn't hurt.  Or at least not too much...

Would a minimig fit into a Cube?  Now that would be interesting.
