I have two MorphOS computers now.
The first is a registered iBook G4.

Now, I have an unregistered PowerBook G4 17 Inch Wide Screen! I will register at the end of this year. The computer arrived with no OS. This is very important to me because I like to see a computer made just for MorphOS and not Mac OS X (and Windows and Linux) and preferably a laptop with a built in internal "full size" keyboard equipped with numeric key pad.

The computer is indeed a rare find. It did not cost much to purchase (if they are ever found on ebay, they are expensive to purchase) and also there was no OS. The pictures showed the Finder Folder error so I assumed it had a hard drive. The seller also said it had a hard drive.

The seller was silly. They said Mac OS X will need to be "downloaded" onto it. I of course did not do this. The seller did not upload pictures of the entire laptop, so I took huge risk in purchasing it because it might have had missing keys or cracked display. Fortunately, it did not have any issue. The risk resulted in success.

The only issue is charger white cord is damaged in one area, exposing the internal wires (but still insulated) This I repaired with black electrical tape until I found a replacement charger.

So I will have two registered MorphOS by the end of this year. And then three next year!

What is your plan for the third system?

It might come as a stunner, but it was made just for Mac OS X and not for MorphOS, no matter with which OS it arrived at you :-)

Of course Macs are designed to run MacOS, not MorphOS.
Obviously, it was MorphOS that had to be modified to run on a Mac.

Can we really say any computer system was designed primarily for MorphOS?
Even the Pegasos runs Linux and OSX as well as MorphOS.

The Pegasos doesn't run OSX, except in a VM like MacOnLinux, and it was designed for both Linux and MorphOS according to bplan. Linux was first on it, though.
