Its expensive, but 1 Amiga OS is too much of a monopoly.  Competition is good :)  Brings out the best in both camps.  I'm holding out for MOS 3 on MacMini :)

@jorkany:

yea, I just bought my son a Core2Duo Mac Mini from Best Buy for $600.  I wouldnt dare spend that kind of money on any Amiga motherboard (MorphOS support or not).  I dont have any way to justify spending that.  Can I spend the $? You bet.. no problems with the wife on that either.  I just dont see a valid reason.

I would rather pre-pay for a MorphOS 3 registration for the MacMini (Did you get that Piru? itix?  yea, no joking here) :-)

@xeron:

Thats not what I meant by there isnt any software.  Thats ported software, some new apps.. I'm talking quite a few commercial companies putting out software that would justify spending that kind of money.


The sad part is, no matter what you throw out there, its always underpowered and overpriced.


OS4.x fans:

But hey, not to rain on OS4 fans, good for you guys.  I'm glad.  Now that there looks like you might have hardware to run 4.1 on, QUIT YOUR CRYING AND BUY IT.
