Hell, they are free in the US - go into any public school in the entire country and you'll find a classroom full of old 603 - G4 Macs that they don't want to take the time or money to haul off to the dump. (And plenty of 68k machines, too.) One local school would've given every last one of 'em if I'd had the space in my car.


You jammy gits... :(

Here in the UK you still have to pay silly money for them. Just last summer my iMAC G4 cost me £160 and then £300 to upgrade (yes I know I got conned on that one... :cry:) and the iMac G5 I bought about a month later cost me £355 and they still go at those prices today on evilBay & second hand online stores... :(

I could have bought a brand new one for that money but I don't like the toffee nosed sales gits you find in Apple stores over here... :madashell:

Gawd... I paid all that dosh just to see what the internet was all about... I was robbed... :cry:

Ohhh bummer. Pity you didn't have anybody's address over here, we coulda grabbed you a free one - then again, I suppose shipping one of those beasts across the pond would jack the price up nearly that far anyway...

Hello!
 
I'd like to know why people using AOS 3 doesn't jump on the MOS train? What is holding you back exactly? I've been an a4k user myself but the MOS is offering much more than the classic Amiga can have.
 
Now I'm sure that some AOS 4 users will go crazy here since I didn't mention AOS 4 but I'm wondering why people are stuck with the classics. Nothing wrong with that except that they are missing out on so many great things.
 
This is offcourse in my opinion but I feal that taking a step forward wouldn't hurt? Also you can keep your classics while moving forward!
 
You shall feal really at home with mos, just like using aos 3 but better. I've read that mos classic wasn't good but for Pegasos it runs really well actually and from what I've read it does on the Mac boards too. Why not give it a try, it won't hurt you :-P

Powerbook G4 support and Wireless support, and I'll buy a license.
Until then, no point.

Thank you for the link.

It seems it is a clumsy solution, from what I read over there. Anyway, it is too old to be of any use now, as it is MOS 1.4 related :(

Perhaps it is a bit more elegant now?

Ambient  has gotten much better since the MorphOS 1.4.x days. I didn't like it at all when I first started with MorphOS and I came close to following through on that tutorial. Once public betas of newer Ambients started appearing (long before the actual 2.0 release) I changed my mind.

Although I still do most of my work in DOpus4, regardless of whether I'm using OS3, OS4, or MorphOS. :)
