    MacWorld.com has published a cool article about MorphOS online: "Turn your G4-era Mac into a next-gen Amiga"

    http://www.macworld.com/article/2363177/turn-your-g4-era-mac-into-a-next-gen-amiga.html

    Pretty nice introduction to MorphOS. But very very shallow.

    IMHO it was "deeper" than what I would have been expecting from such a site! ;-)

    I won't argue against that :-)

    But it would have been fun if the writer did try to find out what the charm of MorphOS is. He did mention that it's fast but that's basically it.

    But true, it was a favourable review. Better than nothing.

    Nice, but unfortunately not without errors such as:

    - not possible to install MorphOS without overwriting an existing MacOSX installation
    - Mac mini license price is 111 EUR
    - MorphOS can run AmigaOS 4.0+ programs (he doesn't mention OS4Emu here)
    - MorphOS has 2300 users
    - the 'O' in OWB means 'Origyn'
    - http://morphos.lukysoft.cz hosts any files
    - http://www.morphos-files.net is the Polski Portal Amigowy
    - several links to WArMUp but none to MorphZone ;-)

    I can see that 2 of my 8 remarks have been addressed. Better than none, I guess ;-)
