I have read various posts about this topic from my very first days on this forum and the MorphOS scene as a fan and supporter.

I can understand the developer's point that there are no Classic PPC systems available to the team and that there is a lot of work that has to be done for a 2.x PowerUP release.

But I still believe that there should be a way for the registration possibility of the 1.4.5 version to return in action, for free or for some money.

I can understand the team's point of view explaining that back on the days of 1.4.5 PowerUP there was not enough donations made so the project died. At this point it is the user-base that should change this at the current stage and maybe start a new hope for a new PowerUP release:

The first simple step could be to make some polls around the forums t see how many Amiga users owning PowerUP cards are willing to pay an amount of money to get a new version of MorphOS fr their machines.

After that the second and most serious step would be the starting of a bounty for a new MorphOS 2.x PowerUP version, perhaps the amount of money that would be collected for this could be a good reason for the team to start again. Perhaps part of the money paid by each person for this bounty could be gathered in order to get some hardware as well and gift it to the team.

I am sure that all those general thoughts have been expressed in the past or maybe there is someone else who already have thought about those things but ok after all it is my simple opinion and a small starting point.
