I apologise for any previous comments about MorphOS. I think I was kind of wrongly critical of the powerpc dependance. I went and looked at a friends emac and mac mini. When I thought about it, its actually quite ingenious porting morph to that hardware, because it really is nice hardware, and its readily available, (and cheap!)
I would never buy a mac before, because I'm a linux guy. I felt kinda like why should I get raped for an outrageous price just to use a suped up prettied up bsd clone that is closed source? Still I remember seeing macs and really liking the style of them, especially the white keyboard and mouse and how it just looks inviting to use.
When I examine the hardware without osx, they are actually quite nice computers. Then I think, hey I bet I can dual boot osx and morph, so for a few hundred bucks thats not a bad computer to have around to play with.
God help me if I decide I really like osx though.
As far as linux...
Linux is very easy to use once you kind of figure out where everything goes. I only compile programs I can't find packages for, which is very rare.
I have had amigas back in the day, then recently got a 500 then a 1200... Then I made a dedicated amiga emulation pc running amikit... Then I had an aros box... A morphos box is probably in my future. I'm thinking emac because its an all in one and I don't have to worry about monitor and so on... Anyone have a compattible emac who wants to trade for an amiga 500? 2.0 roms, and some other upgrades? I'll throw in some assorted amiga stuff as well...
Steven
