I think OS4 CAN be run on MAC MINI (USABLE)

[koshman]

An I bet there are less than 3 people on this board who can even name a device with an ARM CPU installed unless you're talking iPhone....

Wait, you're kidding, right? 90% people on this forum are technoids and you think they don't know what's powering their phones? And not just iPhone, my good old Mpx200 is also ARM based. Other than that - my NDS, PPC Loox, N800. I would still prefer a move to x86, but you can't deny ARM is used in virtually everything and is therefore far from obscurity.

Well MorphOS team I just want to say thanks.
I havent bougth the your OS yet. But I'm goingto when I buy a new macmini as a media senter.
It's good to have a hobby tatt you can make some money on. But I don't belive any of the compenys will get riche makeing Amiga OSes. But some things we do becose we like it:)

I genreal it's a good thing for the Amiga developers that it's old. For the userbase is "old" to. And yes we have wifes, kids, house loans.... But we do have money to use on hobbys to.
Yes, it cost money but my boat cost more in a year.

Happy morning to everbody. I was up 05.30 today. My littel girl did not wont to sleep any more..... So been reading abit.

Well, based on your logic people only buy MorphOS to look at the desktop since there's no decent software to use.  I had hoped that the MOS team would actually develop or port some decent apps to MOS, but in 3 years it hasn't happened and I'm certain it'll be the same in 3 more years.  I wasn't looking for a system to compete with anything.  I was looking for s system that was useful.  I'm still waiting.

I think most of the people has bought (and will buy) MorphOS because it runs their beloved Amiga programs on more modern and faster system than their old aging Amigas. And it does that well. As a bonus there's also many new programs or program versions. You can watch movies and browse web etc much better than on AmigaOS 3.x system. With both compatibility with modern systems and speedwise.

For that majority MorphOS is very useful and fills their needs better than anything else before. For me MorphOS has served all my needs to upgrade from classic Amiga systems and I can use it as my main system in daily use. With classic Amiga it would be pretty difficult nowadays anymore. But then there are people with very different expectations, habits and needs, and of course that can cause disappointments, if you aren't fully aware what you're getting.

Hm, using a G4 mini as media center isn't exactly optimal. You should consider something more suitable for that, leaving the G4 mini to do MorphOS fulltime

@ Apex

Without Bill and Amiga Inc, we wouldnt even have AOS4, so your point is complete b0ll0cks

Hi,

@JJ,

I agree totally.

Now that Amiga Inc. is gone lets give Bill some credit for something.

x86-64 is an option as far as availability goes yes I agree, but not from a value for money point of view..

Really? My Core 2 Quad Q9450, with 12MB of cache and running at 2.66GHz was about 200 quid when it was brand spanking new. I'd say it has proven itself to be pretty damn good value for money.

Hi,

@Karlos,

What do you know about computers? Didn't you just buy that system to upgrade from a C64.

and

Man, how long did it take you to catch 200 squid?

Really?  Why not?

I'm interested, because I've been using my 1.25GHz G4 Mini as a htpc/media center/torrent slave for almost two years straight.

Sounds like smerf has been into the good alfalfa again!

I do not want a macentosh!!

The MorphOS team does only MorphOS. Developers of MorphOS have released new software in these three years, Fab's OWB being perhaps most notable port/development.

There is also (few) new software coming with MorphOS. Sketch (painting program) and RemoteShell (SSH) were added in 2.0. No office suite, tho, but MorphOS is not only bunch of libs and devs.

Then.. sigh.. then don't get one.  Sheesh...

You hypocrite.

You hypocrite.

Take a chill pill and come back tomorrow.

Or stick around and curse some more, it's cute!

The lovely little "Banned" under your login would be even cuter.

A chill pill?! macintosh does not belong to the Amiga, you know that. Apple and Microsift is a box of garbage.:afro:
