My very first post was the question :"what runs on it?" because despite searching the simple morphos site, and more besides, I could not find a list of software that run on Morphos. But no-one answered my question. Another guy more or less raises the same question, no-one answers and he therefore reasonably concludes that if no software runs on it, then its too expensive for him to spend that sort of money on hardware and an OS that doesn't run any software. The obvious thing would have been for people like you to enlighten us both with your knowledge of what, exactly, runs on it. But no, he's then attacked for being too tight-arsed to support the developers that have worked so hard to release this. Again no-one bothers to say what runs on it. So if you can't run any software, what else can you do with the OS but "close and open directories and gaze at pretty icons and backdrops, with not much else". When a list of software that runs on Morphos was posted I acknowledged this. No-one is begrudging you your new toy, enjoy it, but don't attack me just because I asked a reasonable question that Morphos fans like you seemed to not want to answer, and in fact seemed to deliberately avoid.


I have to say I would have expected that every Amiga user knows that MorphOS can run system friendly (RTG/RTA) Amiga software starting from Kickstart 1.0... maybe we should be more verbose about it.

A platform only needs one killer app to sell it!


No, it does not. It is just enough that one finds it fun.

With the software you can not win.
