If you want x86 or ARM, you're free to use AROS. OS4 and MOS are just fine as they are on PowerPC, and nothing is going to change that for the present.

I personally dislike the fact that people here feel the need to go to the red or the blue and change them. AROS does what you want, just leave blue and red alone. In the case of Blue, we have a defined roadmap for the present and we arent going to change that. Red, they seem to be more than a little turbid in terms of where to go, but there are sales for them. So, AROS, either buy the needed hardware to run MOS or OS4 or you're free to use what you want on AROS.

Also, there is the Megahertz myth. All things considered, the megahertz have little to do with speed. I can watch 720p video on My G4 mac, it runs circles on computers owned by my computer consultant friend, including his brand new machine he built.

I know people running G5s with Yellow Dog and Debian which outrun all Intel machines they have been put up against. Source code optimization is the reason that I can make a game for the Wii that runs better than on a PC. When I get some dev machines, I will be putting a mix of E, C and ASM for 68k and PPC. Assembly code is by far the most efficient code for a machine.

@HotRod

Exactly my point, I wish people would stop complaining about it, and the fact its plenty fast leaves me miffed at why they insist on whining

WIth MorphOS, Beyond macs we will cross that bridge when we'll come to it. For the present, PPC Macs are more than fast enough, especially considering PC games right now suck compared to 360, Wii and PS3 counterparts, and games are about the only thing new PCs can do over a PPC Mac. I can edit and make HD video on my G4s, play UT2k4 on net servers and listen to my favorite tunes.

@Ferrellsl

We all have differing opinions but you are going way too far. Trolling is wrong, and you are kind of being the jerk by saying the rest of us don't have reason. Its like ice cream, not everyone likes the same flavors. If you feel so determined to prove a point go to the AROS sites, they'll be more than happy to house another troll

You also use the Megahertz myth and manipulation of facts. The X1000 is something, its substance an you are being a disrespectful twit.

Okay well since ferrellsl is now on my ignore list, the conversation is again relaxed.

@bbond007

I agree, its kind of big, and is taking its sweet time

@thread

I'm not an OS4 advocate by any means, my MOS systems are way better. People are worrying way too much. My thoughts? Shut it and buy a $100 USD Mac, its cheap, powerful and way better any OS4 system, except maybe a Pegasos.

@Fats

Starting out, I tried to ask some people on both the AROS forums and mailing lists about some stuff. They were rude, demeaning and acted like I was an idiot, when I was just ignorant of AROS. A few AROS users on here also seem to be quite above other members, preaching that the rest of us are stupid and demeaning us.

This was before I even had any predjudice towards them. I went to AROS first, and all I wanted was for them to answer some simple, concise questions. I eventually found out on my own but by that time AROS had no appeal for me, I had already gotten an A1200 and gotten into MorphOS and Amithlon.
