To some it may be seen as some sort of trophy or collectors piece.

Agreed! I'm buying it partly as a trophy that says I've been a faithful Amigan for years. Had it never been released I would have felt insulted and made a sucker out of  :-)

People collect all sorts of things that they can't or don't use.

i cant use it right now but if i get my hands on a bppc card or newer ppc cards, that will be made later on. it will be usefull...

but for now i buy it for the cool factor, the collection, the support and i can throw it in the face of the disbelievers and tell them "i told you so".. hahaha...  :-D

thank you, that is more of an answer I was looking for.  I have no desire to start a "RED" vs "BLUE" fight here.  It is just that you must admit that OS4 and MorphOS are VERY similar and one is free, the other is going to cost you.

I have downloaded MorphOS, but have not installed or used it yet, so don't accuse me of being a MorphOS fanboy, I am not.  I have seen it demonstrated and it looked nice and fast, so I will probably try it out some time in the next few months, but it is not high on my agenda.

My statement was that I just don't understand the people that are so ........... excited, or dedicated to OS4 even if they don't have the hardware to run it.

You are free to have your opinion and your reasons for wanting OS4, I was just curious as to what some of those reasons might be.

Well well, then why the ¤?#%&¤& did the main page show both "1 day.." and "3 days.." at the same time yesterday
And no, I was not drunk then.
Still not as strange (and funny) as seeing folks repeatedly addressing themselves all the time.

@amigadave

it maybe similar and free but people dont want it, aos4.0 is the successor and that is the whole big thing. aos4.0 cost money but it dont cost an arm or an leg either, its cheap i would say. i hope you get your curiosity satisfied by reading this threat, it have the answers to your question after all...

now back to dreaming of my bought copy of aos4.0 for the classic!  :-D

morphos and os4:

i'm not interested who is the official successor or else. I wanted to try Morphos classic, but my hw was not supported. (mediator) If hyperion doesn't came with the relase of classic os4, i will surely boght a g-rex or an efika and usig mos now. But hyperion do that, so i chosse to use it. And if i will be happy, and os4 will come for sam. I will be buy that too. But not efika+mos2.0. So if the morphos team was clever, in the past few years Morphos coud be the real amiga platform. I think they missed the opportunity.
Once again morphos seems to be as good as os4, just the avaliablity and marketing...

both are hobby oses and things happen and things changed. morphos is just a cloneos of the old amigaos 3.0, the successor of todays amigaos is aos4.0 and there is where the future is. what you choose is up to you. and elbox will support aos4.0 with drivers for their hw and new ppc cards will come that i dont doubt, but nothing will happen over night, you must give it time. morphos will also benefit from this i think even when its abandoned by its makers, like it is today. enjoy what path you have choosen, dont come here and talk about missed opportunitys, its just a waste...

@Amigakit,

Man, your going to be busy for the next week or so! :-o

[Ral-Clan]

Looks beautiful.  I wish I could run it (no PPC hardware).  :-)  :boohoo:

[TiredOLife]

Well it seems not everyone is happy to see OS4.0 released for the classics.
Microsoft?
Apple?
No, my other half.

I told I would be pretty busy for a while once I get my hands on it.
She wasn't too happy, I can tell you.

 :roll:

[amigadave]

Very nice packaging, my hats off to them for that.  I might even buy it......someday, but not after seeing it work on a system similar to mine.  I hope I can see it on a Classic PPC Amiga close to me soon.

Congrats to all of you that have waited sooooooo long.  I am happy for all of you and hope it is all you dreamed of.  I also hope that it will continue to be developed for years to come.

Please post your reviews of OS4.0 on CSPPC and BPPC here for all of us to read.

Will do a speed comparison with the A1 as well, obviously it will be slower, but just how much...
