I think OS4 CAN be run on MAC MINI (USABLE)

[Piru]

MorphOS' strategy will last only as long as the Mac Minis last.

Well not quite as we're not limiting ourselves to Mac mini. We already support eMac aswell, and we're looking at bringing support to some PowerMac G4s and PowerBook G4 next.

All these machines combined will cover any possible needs for HW for a very long time. As I've stated before we're well aware that it will not last forever, though, but until then we have very nice HW to play with.

And until Piru publishes some real sales numbers I'll continue to disbelieve him when he says the move to MacMini was a huge success.

Believe what you will. I can't force you to believe anything. If you don't believe me then you wouldn't believe any numbers I'd be presenting, anyway (and no, I won't be quoting any numbers).

He also tried to get me to believe that MorphOS wasn't a "business" venture.

Again you're free to believe whatever you want. MorphOS isn't a business venture however.

And this crazy belief that MorphOS will supercharge your 5 year old hardware is ridiculous.

Any such claims are silly. There's a limit to any HW performance, which no SW can bypass.

However, funnily the 5 year old HW runs circles around some of the PPC HW that is sold as new, today. The price-tag of these new offerings is just plain ridiculous. It clearly tells us that there is no point in trying to create new PPC HW today.

AOS and MOS will continue to move into an ever smaller niche using their current business models. It's just simple economics.  As their market base shrinks, the price will continue to increase just to cover their development costs. There's no economy of scale.

Amigaoid stuff as a business died mid 90s.

You've never posted any numbers so there's nothing to "believe". If MorphOS is such a success, then why not post some numbers?

I said that Mac mini has been a success. You clearly don't believe me.

As far as I know we've never posted any sales numbers, and I am not going to start posting now.

You are free to believe that there have been 300 sales, or 50 if that makes you feel any better.

Hiding one's success.......how noble.....

Yes, I like you too.

There are various ways to measure success. For me in this particular case it doesn't mean making ton of money. It means making MorphOS available on a cheap and easily available hardware. In this the Mac mini has been a sounding success (EFIKA was great as well, although low in memory unfortunately).

The number of sold licenses and their distribution will remain a undisclosed matter.

I hope this makes my point clear to anyone and I don't need to comment on this further.

Happy weekend everyone!
