I lower cost machine may have been hiding in plain site recently ;)


Cue the 180 degree turn around when the OS4 faithful realise the machines in question are second hand laptops from Apple and page after page of justifications of why second hand hardware is now wonderful despite it being terrible when MorphOS was first demonstrated running on the same hardware.

I'm lost here... what's that photo, and what is it running?


Efika running OS4 I think.

Interesting. What's next, OS4 running on top of G4 Mac Minis :)


PowerBook G4's.

I'm sure A-Eon won't be too fond of that :P


A-Eon don't own Hyperion. ;)

Are you sure? What percentage of Hyperion does A-Eon own after the bailout?


Isn't it owned by the three shareholders? I dunno tbh, but I do know that OS4 is running on PowerBook G4's.

I don't "know" but I doubt A-Eon would bail Hyperion out of bankruptcy for rights to a few software products. Would you loan a bankrupt Hyperion $100,000+ for the rights to sell some of their old software products?


Is that what happened? I haven't been paying attention to the dramatics that seem to follow Ben H around that much recently.

100k is a lot of money but enough to buy the company?
