And MorphOS takes the lead. Leaving the AOS4.x bite the dust...

Just can't have a single thread about this crap can we ?
 
Nobody is coming in to all the Morph OS threads and crapping over it, because it can't run dual core or whatever. Just appreciate each piece of technology for what it is, on its own.

Depends. If you want a low end G5, I've seen $100-$200. The top end is about $600 - $700 or so.

I'd imagine even a low end machine would still play very well with Morph

Nope, the comment I was responding to was not about PPC OS as such, it was about "what makes MorphOS more suited than anything else for old m68k amiga apps" - so MIDI sequencing doesn't need the CPU power and an old A1200 does it fine, and someone brought up ImageFx as an example of something MorphOS on a G5 supposedly can do so much better than anything else, and I counter that by pointing out that you can have a much faster environment for ImageFx by using UAE.


I guess Im not familiar here but what, if any unique PPC software exists for OS 4 or Morph that exists on no other platform ?
