Not being funny, but did you actually *read* the update.
You could never buy AmigaOS without owning one of their computers.
Amiga **are** providing a version of OS4 for the oldest miachines that
are capable of running it (that's the ones that have PPC cards).
Who's to say there won't be a 1GHz G4 board sometime soon? Elbox,
Matay and Eyetech all have PPC systems in the works. Surely one of
them will make a top line version soon enough. Besides, any of them
will be a hell of a lot faster than we're used to.
You can't seriously expect them to write a 68k OS can you? It'd be
seriously slow, and if you were running it on an A500 it'd be hard
pushed to do what 3.9 does now. If you're wanting to run it on
Amithlon, well that's a tricky one. I don't think a x86 system is a
good idea, but it's a very complicated (and contentious) issue.
