Torture!

Honestly i hope you all waste your money buying second hand macs waiting for some pirate to port it ... It just show how much you care for the platform . Just wait too see what happens after. I find it hard to believe it will only be released for classic as acube does indeed have that sam thing too. But i guess you mac fan boys will be disappointed thinking about a mac port . If so wait too see if there will be a official statement or buy 10 copy's each so i can sit and laugh at all of you stuck with unusable software... As it turns out the classic version may be the worst to adapt to any other hardware at all as it uses custom chipset and all....  You guys use caveman logics around here "grab the first hope for the best" :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  Start being serious and show a little patients now we know they"hyperion" are able to deliver.

Please read the posting guidelines this is not piratebay .
Do you think the Os will have any future if you all think about pirating it all ready .

Edit: If you guys do so you will only end up with a os with out os updates you know it...

TBH, my original post was aimed at A1260 or whatever the **** his handle is, however, you bit first so I ran with it. I'm just trying to illustrate how sensitive many of you have become. Fanboyism is ugly wherever it rears its head and it certainly doesn't make for good conversation. A lot of people here need to pour themselves a nice cup'o'tea and relax.

"Hook, line and sinker, god I love this place"

What does that mean? If I don't have to visit Your lovely country for some pirate hunting it's a shame on me then.

(God the dual kb&monitor(kvm)thingie for WinVista too got me, now I'm even pressing the wrong buttons for copy/paste at the A1 after teaching my girlfriend for 10 minutes how to do it on my spanking new pc:(

Now going for a five minute cigarette brake and a get beer.

Yeah, surely the only people who care about the Amiga are the ones who are prepared to spend £500 on a 10 year old accelerator card which will probably break down :roll:

@PR
Sorry but your posts are totally impenetrable - I have no idea what you're on about! However, I will respond to this:

Will someone please hurry up and port OS4 to PPC Mac, I have a...." Why not do it Yourselve, Mate?

Do you think everybody has the ability to do that? Don't you think if I could do it I would?

I wish I had OS4 for Mac.. sigh

[gdanko]

Do not blame the people of the US for the acts of their leaders.

No. If Hyperi1on announced support for affordable and easy to obtain hardware then people would be happy and Hyperion would sell many copies.

It has nothing to do with the Mac. I has to do with:
a) Amiga, Inc. and Hyperion will never port it to x86
b) A 1.4 GHz G4 Mac Mini can be had for $250US or less and is more powerful than the $1000US A1

You cannot blame people for not wanting to spend $1000 for an underpowered machine. The argument that the OS is so lightweight that it doesn't need a powerful machine is invalid when it comes to the pure economics of things. Plus, there are a number of Mac Mini G4 owners who have long since upgraded yet kept their Minis around for something or another. Many of these folks would love to install OS4.

The platform is no longer hardware. It is software. Back in the heyday of the Amiga you paid much less to get much more. Now we've gone 180 degrees. You pay a ton of money to get an anemic machine. Amiga is software, not hardware. You support Amiga by buying the software. Bill McEwen has the visions of grandeur about having some quad core OS4 machine. He has it backwards. Why not think along the lines of this:

#1 Get the software into the hands of the masses (inexpensive generic PPC)
#2 Build the demand as a result of #1
#3 As a result of #2, the desire for more powerful apps will appear.
#4 And as a result of #3, the need for more powerful hardware will exist

Bill wants to skip right to #4 without even having significant numbers of users even able to play with the OS. No one wants to invest an exorbitant amount of money in a piece of hardware that is a gamble.

As much as I don't like A1260's posting style I think he/she may have a point here - this must be the second thread you've made with no real point to it Moto. Usually your non-coffee house posts are all very logical and objective, but recently it's just been:

"I am buying OS4 knowing I won't be able to run it , but wouldn't it be REALLY nice if I was able to run it.. can someone give me a very expensive PPC card or just port the classic edition to PPC Macs please"

I know it sounds like I'm having a go but this really is starting to sound like those "port OS4 to XYZ" threads we used to get in the masses. It's getting silly, and I'm sorry to have to say it but you sound childish.

If you are just taking the piss and trying to liven up the place a bit just say now and I'll delete this post and shut my arse up but I really feel I had to post this observation.

Do you think I was serious about somebody giving me a PPC card? It can be hard to recognise sarcasm in text... And are you surprised there is a renewed interest in getting OS4 running on a Mac now it's available? Don't you think there is value in that given that the OS is finally available? Or would you prefer for OS4 to remain available only to those who own rare and expensive hardware?

True.

I am certainly not surprised by the interest, but the daydreaming is almost on par with that of the "port OS4 to etc." threads.

The PPC Mac version was a rumour that came from someone at Hyperion stating that they got it running on one.

If this is true then it certainly isn't going to be available anytime soon (and if it is I'll eat my hat) simply and logically because that would be closer to the A1 version than the classic. If a patch was released it would require an OS4 A1 installation at the very least, something which has been available to a lucky few for a very long time. So, how are we in a different situation now?

If you are talking about someone at Hyperion leaking a patch then how exactly would that help them at Hyperion, and why now just because they are doing what is legally within their right to release the Classic Version?
