...but then OS4/MoS doesn't even have a sophisticated web browser in 2011 so yeah whatever. Fail on price/Fail on Hardware/Fail on OS (MoS or OS4).
 
...(MoS has same problems as OS4 and even worse runs on old crusty Apple hardware with Apple logos all over the box...great!)

Hey! I like Odyssey. Except for Flash support (which is rapidily becoming irrelevent) it has all the features I need in a browser.
 
And MorphOS also runs on Pegasos systems (although I'll take the "crappy" Mac).
 
I also have a four core X86 system, but I find myself using my MorphOS system far more often.

Well, it *does* have Flash support, up to Flash 8.

Sorry Fab, I tend to make that mistake because I avoid Flash based sites.
It lacks good Flash support. :)

Running os4 on ps3 is a fantastic idea. Which is why it will never happen.

The amiga grave robbers won't let people have access to inexpensive fast hardware when they are charging 1000$+ for a 1ghz 10 year old motherboard and processor that was originally manufactured for embedded applications.

Ps3's cost what? 200-300$ bucks used and are VASTLY technically superior in every way to every other os4 machine currently available, including the x1000.

It won't happen for the same reason you won't see MorphOS on a PS3, it would have to run on a hacked console.
Hyperion and the MOS developers wouldn't want to run the risk of lawsuits from Sony.

Actually 386 and 486 boards are getting rarer lately, and people on ebay are selling them for ridiculous prices to robotics and electronics experimenters.

Are there people dumb enough to be buying them, Steven?
 
And since, AFAIK, there are no chipsets that allow 386 or 486 processors to access modern RAM, a 4GB 386 or 486 combination is virtually impossible (as well as being pointless and extremely silly).
