Again, welcome, and please share more info on how you are progressing with your switch from Windows and/or Mac, (of Linux) to MorphOS, and why you prefer to use it over those other choices.
Probably the main reasons I prefer MorphOS so far are because:
>It's different to everything I have used so far, I like the way the interface is laid out. It has a classic look, but yet it has a very smooth polished 3D feel about it
>I'm from NZ, I love to be green and recycle things. Being able to pick up old Apple hardware instead of it going to the tip (Dump) and load a modern OS is just fantastic! Most apple hardware is well built and there are plenty of parts.
>It's fast. It boots in seconds, the apps are lightweight and web browsing is a breeze (YouTube videos aren't great though, don't know if that's just my settings)
>It's maintained by a small group of core developers. The license fee is very reasonable and it shows that money isn't everything in a quality product. They are doing an awesome job.
>There's quite a large amount of free apps on Aminet and MorphOS files
>The community. People are friendly, helpful, and it makes the OS so much more enjoyable knowing the support is there
I mean, i'm not a developer or a programmer, but I really want to contribute anyway I can
Great response!
Can I quote you and use your words to promote MorphOS when I go to the next AmiWest Show in Sacramento, Calif., next October?
MorphOS - The best Next Gen Amiga choice.
