The MorphOS lust may soon be over...

The eMac will be too anemic power wise to impress or please you, IMO.

My first MOS experience was on a similar machine, and it left a very bad taste in my mouth.  But your mileage may vary.

I love MOS, but had I gone off first impressions on the eMac I tried it on first, I would have sworn off it.

The eMac will be fine Steven.
My first machine was  slower 933MHz Quicksilver PowerMac.

I have an eMac and I have MorphOS on it. It runs quite well, I have been testing MorphOS for a bit now and finally am registering it and I love it.

Yes, the machine I use daily is only slightly faster (a 1.42 GHzBook with only 32mb of vram).
It works fine.
I have two G5 PowerMacs, but for most uses they are overkill.

Running programs that require UAE can be more demanding.

So start with "friendly" programs first.

I know you (and you're smart, Steven), I think you'll dig it.

I recommend a wireless bridge - extremely handy. Plug wired device into bridge, the bridge wirelessly connects to router, and that's it! They're a little pricey, but I found it to be an extremely worthwhile investment.

I have a Netgear WNCE2001 bridge that works well on my iBook.

Steven, for youtube I find spoofing a iPad works better than just specifying html5 playback.

So you like Ambient?
Thought you might.
Just using MorphOS' interface sold me once I'd installed it (again on a "lowly" 933MHz Quicksilver).

I know I could only install OSX 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6 which would have to be for Power PC, but it has the look and feel of Mac OSX and can run various old Mac software, which can produce files compatible with other operating systems. This software includes iLife with Garageband and a web page designer.

It seems that I may be able to install AmigaOS 4.0, but at least I can TRY anyway.

I should install SOMETHING else onto it, because it's not doing anything at the moment.

MorphOS is something I'm still considering on installing.

You can only run up to leopard/10.5.
I have that on one of my G5s, and with the TenFour Fiox browser it is tolerable.
MorphOS would be better for the Quicksilver as its less resource intense.
My first MorphOS system was a 933 MHz Quicksilver.
It ran fine under MorphOS.

Actually, 30 minutes at a time was adequate to get the port of Cinnamon Writer working under MorphOS, so it ought to be adequate for evaluation.

If you're into old games, a better option is probably an A1200 with an accelerator and WHDload.

Or via AmigaForever (which is cheaper).
