If you are a classic user in 2011, you are into retro/vintage computing where it's important that *all* your old Amiga games and application runs, and runs flawlessly.


I doubt that. Most of the classic guys here don´t own a vanilla 68000 CPU nor Kickstart 1.X ROMs. They won´t be able to run about 40% of all amiga titles released before 1990.

Look how much software has been released for OS4 since it became available. Discounting ports, at this rate your PPC hardware will fail before anything comes out.


Hey hey! I have never had any Hardware fail on me, well except for two of my Macs. But then it´s a MorphOS problem, isn´t it?

There is some nice AmigaOS4 software out there and if people don´t bitch around too much there is more to come. But of course you won´t rival Linux at that.

Of course not. That's an Ismart problem with his Apple produced hardware.
MorphOS can not be blamed.

It wasn´t about blamin MorphOS for Apples crap. But Macs fail often enough to give MorphOS users second thoughts about them. Refuting the argument that PPC Amigas were likely to fail before there was even more AmigaOS 4 software - which is of course a bogus claim by itself.

EDIT: Don´t get me wrong. Apple makes fine hardware that is superior to many PC makers. "Apple crap" refers to those Macs that aren´t produced well, which - in new products and in times of high demand - Apple has repeatedly sold despite of knowing better.
A friend of mine ordered 3 recent iMacs, before he got one that was bearable enogh to keep.
