    Was wondering about this and found this thread. IMO MorphOS it is way over price. These programmers have done a great job and I understand that they have to eat but they are programmers not business people. Their price model is way off, so I don't think they are eating much. All version should be in the same price.

    MorphOS 3.9
    USD $126 (€ 111) PowerBook G4 system, iBook G4 or Power Mac G5
    USD $90 (€ 79) eMac, Mac mini G4, Pegasos I, Pegasos II or PowerMac G4
    USD $56 (€ 49) EfikaPPC or Sam460

    AmigaOS 4.1 Final Ed.
    USD $34 (€ 30)

    Reason? I have seen used G4 PowerBook on Craig's List for USD $50. Now lets exaggerate and say it's $100. How does this justify the USD $126 for the OS?

    IMO this OS should not cost more the USD $56 (€ 49) which I still consider high but would put out but $ USD $34 is even more attractive and seems so much better priced. I can get a PPC version of Linux for free, not sure how fast it will work but it's available or use OS X Leopard at the most.

    The programmers should consider this OS more as a religion and not business (M$ Windows). Their is an Amiga following..., still after all these years. They also should consider expanding to another platform like ARM (eg: Raspberry Pi). New PPC hardware doesn't seem to be readily available for a few years now... 2012?

    This is just my 2 cent.

    -Live on Amiga! :)
