Thanks for the Haiku port of fs-uae btw :)

No worries - actually the prolific Miqlas did a lot of the groundwork for that port

OK, guys - back on topic. You've motivated me to make an updated versions of the graph:

Hi koszer,

thanks for the new graph!

Yo can add the support of X5000

Good point.

And that brings up a question: What's the registration price for an X5000?

> What's the registration price for an X5000?

79 EUR.

Hello all,

I would like to add MorphOS counter licences in real time on my websites like this :

counter example

I know not corresponding to the number of the users but if we see a number go up, I think it could motivate developer and new users to register.

Is it possible ?

Maybe new morphos users could send me their number if real time is not possible ?

What do you think ?

Hi all,

Number 4236 the 7th August 18 on a PowerBook G5 2.3 GHz.

Thanks the MorphOS Team for this fantastic operating system !

Should be the only one available, I am very much interested in that machine

This is a picture :

lol

Is that the smallest G5 laptop ever available? I'm just glad I don't have to rest in on the top of my lap.

4310 Mystery HW ;)

what is this mysterious Hw ? a Daul G5 mac mini

I suppose G5 is correct 😉

Seems to have changed back to "Ralph Schmidt Software Entwicklung" at some point during the last 7 years:

More one year later, I have number 4755 for my iMac G5 today !

More than 400 registrations/PayPal transactions in 14 months.

/me thinks this is not bad but could be much better...

Number 4770 for my new iMac G5 2.1 ISight.

Yes, I wish it were much more popular and we could get more users, specially from the Classic and AmigaOS4 camps, but 68k Amiga is experiencing some great hardware and software projects recently, so getting them to switch to using MorphOS, or even just to get them to add a MorphOS system to their collection, is just as hard as it ever was. You would think that with all the legal crap that Hyperion causes (it seems that legal battles are all they are any good at doing), and their continued inability to move AmigaOS4 forward at anything faster than a snails pace, that more of the AmigaOS4 users would switch to MorphOS, but A-Eon and the developers that work on the Enhancer Packs, appear to be keeping the AmigaOS4 users pacified. It is a damn shame that the MorphOS Dev. Team couldn't have lured Trevor away from preferring to use AmigaOS4 instead of MorphOS. Just think how much better Trevor's investment could have been, if he had been working with the MorphOS Dev. Team, instead of listening to the bad advice he received from Hyperion (and probably Varisys as well). The X1000 CPU mistake probably couldn't have been avoided, as I don't think that anyone could have predicted what Apple was going to do, with regards to shutting down production of the PA6T, but I think that with the advice of the MorphOS Dev. Team members, the X5000 and A1222 would probably be very different projects, and a great deal of the money that Trevor has wasted on AmigaOS4 hardware designs, could have been used to revitalize the software development of MorphOS native software, and probably allowed the team to complete the switch to x64 for MorphOS.

Oh well, none of that happened, and we are on the path to a better future using more powerful x64 systems. Maybe more users will see the (blue) light, once MorphOS for x64 is released, and we have some key software programs that show off the difference available, between AmigaOS4 on PPC systems that are equivalent to our home wireless routers, and MorphOS for x64 systems that are nearly up to date with other hardware, used to run Windows, MacOSX, and Linux operating systems. It would be great if we could combine the development talents of the MorphOS Dev. Team, and the team of programmers that A-Eon has put together to work on the Enhancer Packs. The talent pool in our tiny community is too small to be spread between 3 or 4 different paths.

Number 4748 for my iMac G5 2.1 ISight.
Welcome.

This makes sense with "very different projects" meaning "non-existent" :-)

Any piece of hardware or operating system is only as good as the software you can run on it. Realistically, MorphOS lacks a few applications to qualify as a reasonable option for most casual computer users.

You are mistakenly assuming that the people involved with these different paths have any interest in staying involved if their chosen project ceases to exist.

It is worth remembering that you are not discussing employees of four different companies who just need to be reassigned and will then dutifully do whatever they are being told by management in exchange for paychecks.

Volunteers have intrinsic motivations that are far more difficult or even impossible to realign with whatever you personally guess may be best.

These various different projects exist in large part because different people have different ideas regarding how these types of projects should be run and implemented. Why would you possibly give up your own ideas and convictions just to hopefully keep a project 'alive' which does not match your own preferences? "Being inspired by software running on former Commodore brand computers" is not a good enough justification for either developers or users to remain interested.

That somewhat contradicts beworld's #4770 on 9th Jan 2020 (and BatteMan's #4755 on 29th Dec 2019). Was the hardware registered earlier than the payment made? Last year perhaps?

Yes, you are right. Registered on 25th Dec 2019.

OK, I finally took the time to add all the new keynumbers:
