No screen dragging?

No by default.

Dragon  is a small commodity that tries to mimic screendragging as it is known  from AmigaOS3.x with AGA and some CGX versions (and soon OS4 too).                      Dragon  is not perfect. All that Dragon allows you to do is to drag the  frontmost screen down, so that any screen behind it becomes visible.  Releasing the mouse-button again will pop the screen back into its  original position. Pressing the right mouse-button while dragging will  beam you to the screen shown behind or cancel the drag depending on your  settings.
                      It's  not possible to have th dragged screen stay at the dragged position.  This commodity simply is good for having a quick look at what is going  on on the screen behind without switching screens.
                      Dragon works best when all screens have at least the same colour depth.

Well 108$ is about 79Euro and MorphOS is only cheaper on seriously crippled HW (Efika + Pegasos1).

But you do have a point:
- 30 mins/boot is more than enough to check wether certain apps exist and work
- 30 mins/boot is more than enough to check wether one can get the hang on how to use MorphOS
- 30 mins/boot is more than enough to check wether often visited websites work with OWB
etc etc etc

Also with a 30 day trial there would for sure be clever people finding a way to reset that counter (as it would have to be stored on disk).

If after that you still can't decide wether MorphOS is worth the equivalent of redrumloa-2-nights-out, MorphOS and yourself simple aren't made for another.

I must say this is a great feature. As example, as soon as SAM460ex support is out, I ll be testing it for free, and pay once I can / support is mature.
