    They could have used the fully compatible, albeit slightly more expensive APM chips instead, or wait a little more for the T1 series (announced as early as June 2012).

    > The OS4 guys have the Sam440, 460 and X1000

    Only Sam460 availably as new, others are sold out either long ago (Sam440) or just recently (X1000).

    > they're still getting more and more hardware with the X5000 and Tabor.

    MorphOS has been announced for the X5000 as well. Missed it?

    > its more then fair to honour the people realizing that.

    There's no reason to honour someone for something that's conceived as a bad decision.

    > WE have OLD and USED Mac Systems besides the Sam460 to choose from.

    That's not worse than what's available for OS4 currently to choose from.

    > my original statement that the OS4 guys have more new hardware configs to choose
    > from is true.

    No, it's not. It might become true somewhen in the future when OS4 will be available for Tabor.

    What's your problem with people like Jim who clearly welcome the porting of MorphOS to the CyrusPlus/X5000 (and maybe even to Sam460), but think that Tabor was a bad idea for purely technical reasons? What does this have to do with hate?

    > our MorphOS team [...] don't care. They develop for themselves.

    That's certainly debatable.

    > every new hardware [...] is a plus for the Amiga community.

    As explained, it's not about e500v2-based hardware or no hardware at all. There were alternatives (including waiting some more).
