    Then it seems that you didn't say what you meant. You wrote:

    "currently Apple G4s are the better target (port done, cheap, powerful enough) than a PS3."

    You clearly used "port done" as a point for G4 Macs and against PS3. But as I said that's a non-argument really in a discussion about whether a port to PS3 makes sense or not. And that *currently* G4 Mac is better than PS3 for running MorphOS is a truism because *currently* MorphOS doesn't run on PS3 at all (which in turn is the sole reason this very thread exists).

    In the context of what's needed to port an OS a fully hacked PS3 would be no more different from G4 Mac than G5 Mac is. I guess the people who want to see MorphOS on PS3 would have no problem with seeing it instead of (rather than additionally to) MorphOS on G5 Mac.
    Btw, you think that MorphOS for G5 Macs will only come in 4 years time? I really hope it will be there sooner.

    You betcha :-)

    That's surely not the case here because even before pega-1's statement there was no indication that a port to PS3 is even considered in the slightest way by the MorphOS Team, quite to the contrary. Else this very thread wouldn't exist. But I can easily imagine there're people delaying the purchase of a MorphOS license waiting for the G5 Mac port to appear ;-)
