    Most, but not all.
    I never owned a legacy Amiga before using MorphOS.
    I was part of a company building 68K based systems when the Amiga was still current and I was throughly familiar with the Amiga.
    I am just a huge Motorola cpu fanatic.

    And I think MorphOS is distinctly superior to AmigaOS.
    A better kernel, more modern sound and graphics, and based on a significantly more powerful ISA.

    As such, I would like to see MorphOS become what it could be rather than remain in the Amiga's shadow.
    After all, its better.

    Back to topic.
    With its obvious advantages, AROS68K could become quite attractive as the power of new fpga based 68K systems increases.
    Since Cloanto can't develop a new OS based on AmigaOS, that leaves AROS and anything Hyperion might want to create in the future.
    As for Hyperion, they have shown no interest in backporting.
    So...we have one OS that can continue to evolve and another that will require continued patching.
