MorphOS 2.0 Released

~$99 for an Efika and ~$160 for MorphOS? That sounds like a no-brainer to me!

Where'd the $160 price come from? 110 or 150 EUR is way more than that currently  :-?

You are correct, I just did a quick estimate in my head and I was off.

EURUSD=X   115   1.5793   181.6252

Uber-expensive! They could charge 800$ and there would be BMF defending the price/distribution scheme. They'll tell you MorphOS2.0 won't make them rich but they insist in reducing the number of possible sales charging 3 times more than they should charge.

115EUR/180USD is uber-expensive for our market? A market that saw an Open Source Quake II port sell for $70?

Any way you slice it they won't sell but a couple hundred units. Yeah, it is high for what it is, but at least there is something to buy NOW. New hardware to buy for $99 and OS for under $200. With shipping, a NG Am*OS solution for under $300. Sure as hell beats a second hand, slower, sketchy CyberstormPPC based big box Amiga or time bomb, flakey , second hand AmigaOne for 8-10 times the price.

But we don't pay the 19% EU VAT so your original price is a closer.

Oh, yeah, thanks for pointing that out. I was right to begin with  ;-)

-Edit- Let us do the math.
111 EUR - 19% VAT = 89.91EUR
EURUSD=X   89.91   1.5883   142.8041

So in USD, the red-headed stepchild currency, it is $142.80 at current exchange rates.

The EFIKA runs circles around the best, top of the line Amiga. You want a compact OS like AmigaOS, well its arrived.

I would believe that, of course with the exception of Pegasos I & Pegasos II.

I'm glad I said Amiga and not Pegasos.     :crazy:  ;-)

Now you are splitting hairs :-P

Ok "Amiga compatible"
