Are you stating that MorphOS runs on Powerbooks? Please write it so I can quote you in the Mac forums. Surely a selling point for the Powerbooks. Will raise their price a lot.

And a few lines later...

-Then you make a statement - it works on Powerbook!
So he trusts you and downloads MorphOS, only to find that it does not work on his Powerbook.  I would prefer to avoid situations as such, where I will be taken as liar. But when you say - MorphOS runs on Mac Powerbooks - you will be a liar.


Note that when we take into account your first statement cited above and apply your logic of "one case falsifying all other cases", you are a liar now...

the G5 really is a power hog. The faster models come with a 600 watt power supply.

My PC with GeForce GTX240 requires a 1,000W power supply. Such is life.

What? Citing my words out of context in order to prove some fallacy. What a nice dood you are.

I say it again. Please read carefully:

MorphOS works on very narrow range of PowerBook models with specific video chips inside. MorphOS does not work on PowerBooks, period.

Hmm. My system has an 850W PSU and I'm using a GTX275. What else do you have in there?

When I built the system I bought the power supply based on the recommendation of the gfx card manufacturer. It listed 1,000W as requirement.

Wow, mine is listed as 550W as the minimum; the card itself can draw up to 220W, figures which basically match nVidia's reference implementation:

You may say it again a hundred times. It will not add a tiny bit of truth to it however.

Your arguments defy logic.

Just so we're all on the same page, the public version of MorphOS available today runs on:
Any PPC Mac mini
Any Powermac G4 Tower with ATI graphics*
1.25GHz eMac
Pegasos I/II
Efika

Internal development versions also run on:
At least one model of Powermac G5
At least one model of iMac G5
At least one model of 15" Powerbook G4



* Correction: except the very first (PCI-only) model

Cool. I will buy Powermac. It will run MorphOS!

The same argument your mate Krashan used.

Whoops, I mistyped. I have a GTX260, not GTX240. Google now shows a minimum requirement of 500W, but I specifically remember the box stated 1,000W. Too bad the box was thrown away long ago.

So you have decided to use such primitive tricks as cutting statements fragments to support your lack of logical reasoning? Do you really think that noone will notice a difference between "Any Powermac G4 Tower with ATI graphics" and your manipulated "Any Powermac"? Simply pathetic.

Reminds me of my time in Kindergarten.


..... oh happy days ........
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Just like you skipped the first statement of mine and then used the later part.
Do you really think that noone will notice a difference between the whole post and the part you quoted?
