I bought MOS and a PegII in 2007.  I paid $700 for the hardware and $250 for MOS.


At least HW is now inexpensive thanks to Apple... :-P

MorphOS lacks on the software side but OWB is pretty good. It lacks Java and Flash support is what it is but what can be done? There arent much to do about it.

Doubt all you want.  The lastest OWB for OS4 stalled about 6 months ago and that's where it's likely to stay.  It caused nothing but problems on my PegII.  I tried installing MOS OWB 1.6 on my PegII, same story.


MorphOS 2.5 (released in June, that is four months ago) came with OWB 1.8. If you updated your system to MorphOS 2.5 you wouldnt have to install OWB updates on your own. If you installed MorphOS 2.6 to your system you would get OWB 1.10 with it.

Admittely it takes some time to download few tens of megabytes and press install button.

Next tried Netsurf.....even worse disaster.  Too much trouble and too little offered for me to keep wasting my time with any of them.


Humm.. there havent been Netsurf update since 2009.

Maybe if Timberwolf ever gets released I'll switch the damn thing back and give it a go, but I doubt it.


What is Timberwolf? Oh, wait, you are talking about OS4 here. Giving feedback is always good but it is confusing when you are mixing apples and oranges...

And MOS fan-boys telling me that I can do ANYTHING with MOS that I can do in Windows or Linux......not hardly  They may not come right out and say such things on the developer web sites, but the devs of both MOS and OS4 appear on here and other forums regularly and  make comments that at best can be viewed as misleading and at worst, false advertising.  I'm tired of being scammed.  Don't like to see it happen to others.


Any examples?
