Mate, please wake up. EU has penty of countries now in it, not all have Eur currency, nearly third is so called ex-Eastern Block.

I can give you an example. My wife as a microbiologist got her position in a university recently (after PhD defence) and earns 435 Eur. I know my mates from highschool that unlike me don't live in the Capital of that crappy place, and still earn 350 Eur. Over thirty, MScs in marketing, stuff like that.

BTW checking out EU average salary's statistics (throughout countries) might be a nice mark in projecting the system's licence price.

That's more fair indeed, than any lowering the price, as been argued heavilly.

But I suddenly realized the "MorphOS price" discussion is pointless per se.

We should ask ourselves the question: what is MorphOS?
Is it an hobby OS?
Or maybe an OS targetted to much wider audience?

In the first case any price below 500 Eur would be fair.
In second case any price above 50 Eur would be too much.

So the issue here is - to what extent the MorphOS for PPC Mini release should preserve the unique, Amiga spirit (which has only a couple of dozens of followers as we all know and see, I also mean AmigaOS). Or maybe, we should try to start forgetting all this, kind of, and try to pose a sound alternative to Win/Lin/OSX.

To me honestly, second option would be the choice. And the issue is not the price goddamnit. It's all aboud marketing actions.

And you all know it.

BTW @Acil, your signature link is broken.
