Hi All,

I've finally taken the plunge and ordered a key for MorphOS this evening to install on my Mac Mini G4 1.5Ghz. I've just finished renovating it, maxing out the RAM, installing a new 256Gb mSATA SSD in a caddy, cleaning it out and re-pasting the CPU. I installed MorphOS intially to check I'd wired the Wi-Fi and BT up the correct way round, as I'd forgotten to make a note of which one went where, but for a 50/50 shot, I got it right for a change, which was nice.

It's currently running stripped of its outer case, as I've left that off while I renovate the Perspex lid, which was scratched up by the previous owner and the passage of time. I took my orbital sander to it once I'd pulled it from the aluminium housing, and am now waiting for a delivery of finer grit disks before I can restore it back to a nice shiny state. Once that's done, I'll clip it all back together and call it done.

My interest started with the ZX81 and C64, moving to the Amiga 500 and Atari ST while I was a graphics artist doing almost a dozen games for a couple of companies with a coder running our own business together. I eventually left the industry and ended up teaching myself to use a PC, learning to build them and set them up, which I still do when the mood takes me. Sadly, I've forgotten most of my Amiga knowledge though, which is a shame, but I'm trying to push myself to re-learn it all before my brain becomes too addled to learn.

The short version is it's going to take me a while to get up to speed with MorphOS, so I'll be asking all manner of simple questions while I learn how these things work. Should be fun though, as I enjoy learning new stuff. I just wish I could remember them for more than about 20 minutes though! :)

Does this forum software have emojis? I run a forum on a non-computer subject myself, but I can't seem to find them right now, despite some concentrated staring at the page.

Mike.
