Public Release of MorphOS 2.6 & Introduction of PowerMac Support

Difference is that MOS development isn't their "job"...

You need to be paid for your job. You don't need to be paid for your hobby stuff... Even though it's time & work (which I don't deny). No one is forcing you to work on MorphOS: you have no contract (not that I know at least ). When you have a job, you have obligations, and your company is making money thanks to your work... So in returns mean you have to be paid for your work...

What I mean isn't that it's ok or not to do it. They choose to sell it, fine. But it's not mandatory. A lot of people have real jobs, work on their spare time on other OS (AROS, Haiku, Menuet,... just to name a few) and don't seem to have the need to require you to pay any money in order to use their product.

And it seems developers here seem to imply it is mandatory. As if any line of code required some cent...

No one is forcing you to buy MorphOS either.

I've just bought a 1.25GHz G4 eMac for £20 for the wife.  Gonna install MOS on it and see how she fairs.

You can certainly use them independently but I think there's a performance leverage with SLI. As I've only the one card atm, I've not looked too deeply into it but I think it makes sharing large working datasets between the GPUs that much easier.

U got mail bro.

Sure, 5 yr old hardware should run 10+ yr old games quite well.  I won't dispute that.  And I'm sure the "newer" games run fine too albeit using a subset (TinyGL) of a VERY old release of OpenGL.  Maybe version 1.1 or 1.2.  The current release of OpenGL is 4.1.  So if you're a retro gamer who likes to play on retro-hardware, then knock yourself out.

You bought a hackers toy to play the latest games?
