    Good to see you folks still around! My PegasosII is still working, and just this Sunday it, plus a PowerMac MDD G4, showed off MorphOS at Kickstart User Group (UK). I usually take my PegII along to the Kickstart and SWAG shows, but this was the first time for the Mac.

    Thanks for everything! :)

    @ Bifford (Sam) - I remember meeting you at the altWoA event in Huddersfield in 2002 - where you needed a "push-start" (not a KickStart) for your small hatchback (with a flat battery) on the car park as you left for home after the (wintry-snowy) event where you'd brought your Pegasos system to show off MorphOS. Little did I know then that I'd become a fan of MorphOS migrating from my "Classic" Amiga system.  8-D

    I see your joining date to this forum is from 2003, whereas mine is only from 2012, but we are both still MorphOS users, which is great to see, along with all the other members of this forum still (I expect) enjoying (to the same extent as I do) using MorphOS as much as possible.  :-D

    Great work by the MorphOS Development Team over the years to enhance MorphOS so well, and after 25 years still managing to keep it relevant for the most part, as even the fastest G5 systems are beginning to struggle with modern websites. That is, if we aren't shown the "no entry" sign by CloudFlare restricted sites. I see that itch.io has even now succumbed to introducing the CloudFlare limitation, sadly.  :-(
