Time to Move On

[neofree]

OK Guys, I am probably speaking to deaf ears, but it's seriously time to move on. I give two options that give any hope to OS4:

1. Choose an existing or create a new Open PPC motherboard as the hardware for OS4.

2. Make OS4 an alternative OS for the Mac.

Pick one, please before we all don't care anymore.

Thanks,

Well I am into 8 bit already, but kinda bored of that lately..

Honestly I'm thinking about going Mac...  

Amiga has let me down, I give up.

Honestly I am getting bored of Retro Computing as a whole.

I want a computer to be usable, and OS4 is Amiga's only chance.  But I would call it more of a Joke then a Chance.

Thanks,

BTW, definately not loaded.

Looking at Macs under $100 on eBay. Most are G3 300-400Mhz.  Are these worth anything?  Could I convert an AVI to DVD with it?

Thanks,

OS3.x is dead, retro ware.

I want a computer that has a modern browser, P2P software, video editing software that works with AVI (DivX, XviD), DVD, QuickTime, etc.   Does OS3.x do that?

Thanks,

The point is OS4 would be the only one that would do it in the future.    If it doesnt just die completely from everyone involved running out of money.

Apple made the switch to Intel processors, no one liked it at first but now they're faster because of it.  The point?  Comprimises have to be made.

Thanks,

spihunter:

I am curious why you chose the PC for video editing, I thought Mac's were best for that stuff...?

My interest in Mac lately is you cant browse the net without getting clobbered with spyware or viruses..  I guess Linux is a choice too but it would seem the Mac is better commercially supported and a little easier.

The problem is that not everyone has XP SP2 or anti-virus or anti-spyware software to protect you from this crap.  Those sites in particular were often cause for telephone calls to the helpdesks I used to work at.  Fact is that 91% of google.com users are Windows, but only 40% are Windows XP users!  There are TONS of people who are still running Windows 95, 98, Me, with NO updates, NO protection.  Think about this.  How many people can only get dialup in their area and have never installed an update to their OS?  TONS, I run into it regularly with my work.   Companies like CompUSA, Geeks on Call, etc. that offer tech services make a killing just cleaning viruses and spyware off peoples machines because they dont keep up to date.  It's a matter of stupidity sure, but not that they are being warned, they think they are using something that's OK and have no warning because they dont secure their machines.  An Amiga, Mac, Linux user can be stupid like this and have less chance of virus and spyware.

Thanks,
