My next words are dictated by "religion":
In the late 80s i graduated (is it the right term?) to a "computer science high school" here in italy.
We were all fanatics of computers, geeks, "nerds" and so on.
There were amigans, pc users, few atarist and no mac user.
Naturally aside by the study we read everything possible.
We, the amigans, thought we had the best machine ever.
Pc (and microsoft) were not our enemies. Simply they had a terrible monochromatic os.
We studied on olivetti ibm clones and unix machines.
In our view the only "enemies" of amiga were the other two 68x machines: atari st and mac.
In our view pc was simply a poor architecture.
Then went the 90s and windows.
If somebody had told me that one day i'd saw an amiga like os on a mac i would have called him, at least, an heretic. And still today i simply cannot use anything having the apple brand on it.
Nowaday i don't feel the same to x86.
It's totally the best technology available to the masses (not absolutely but to the masses).
So, i'm an aros fan because i think that as yesterday, today i have the best technological hardware solution available to me, using an os that is inspired by those principles that made amigaos3 great.
Everyone has his own thoughts about it.
Someone agrees with this, someone else doesn't.
Some years ago i was about to buy a peg, but money, at last, missed.
Morphos could be a great os, but simply thinking that in an indirect way i'd give my money to that @@@@ of s.jobs, No. Sorry. I can't make it.
