Seriously, if anyone in London wants me to burn them an AROS DVD or CD I'll do it for the price of one beer in their local pub :)

Egad! Even you have passed me in posts? :eek:

Well, a compelling argument is that AROS isn't 150 dollars per bloody machine you want to put it on.

Last I checked MorphOS was over 200
USD per machine :(

Yes, but you can run it on cheap hardware that is orders of magnitude faster than the new hardware that is offered for the other comparable OS choice (AROS is not up to par yet and don't try to compare MorphOS to Windows, MacOSX, or Linux).

If it came on physical media I would feel much better. The current licensing scheme makes me fearful about future proof functionality.
