But if you use keyboard (command-q + s) to shut it down from Ambient, it might be faster still

And you could always assign it to any key for single press shutdown without requesters

And we have a winner!

BTW: Do I have to 'shut down' MorphOS before I turn the computer off or just push the power button like I do in Aros?

Yep. Writes kill these cards, and most mainstream OSs do a lot of writing, even without swap. They write icon and window sizes and positions, last used item lists, log files of all sorts, last accessed metadata and so on. I'm not familiar with MorphOS at that level, but AmigaOS was never much into writing to the disc unless you wanted it to - you could even boot from a read-only partition if you wanted to. I guess MorphOS follows that to a certain extent too.

LOL, that would be an interesting payload for malware Not that I would be condoning such activities!

Really?

Tried 8 times. Either I can't read or there is some error on MZ site.

Cool. As Amiga.org experience partial meltdown, the MorphOS world chugs on past 1100 licenses and many more new demo users.

[mt12345]

So.
I've been happy Morphos user for a while.
I'm surprised how fast it is!
My flatmate dropped his jaw when he saw me playing full screen Virtual Grand Prix 2 and Warsow.
('466 MHz??? Radeon 7000??? You're joking, right???')
I think G4 processor is underestimated, I was always complaining about G4 powerbooks/ibooks performance in OSX,
but MOS proved that G4 is still has much to say.

I have not registered yet, however. I hesitate between upgrading Powermac and buying Mac Mini.
Or should I will wait for MOS 3.0 with Powerbook support?

MorphOS is nice.

I am in the same situation too....

Nicholas & mt12345

It's quite simple. Just answer a question - do you want to be mobile or you prefer to stick with desktop system with chances to expand (PowerMac). As much as I love MacMini (I used to own one) I switched to PowerMac as I can put in better GFX card than Mini had, I can put SoundBlaster (with line in which Mini doesn't have), couple of hard drives etc..

I also have PowerBook awaiting for MorphOS release for it. I like to be mobile as well.

We should be happy that MorphOS Team gave us plenty choises about HW.

[mt12345]

It's not simple at all. I need both expandability and portability. I don't need good graphics but audio recording and more usb ports is essential. I think, Powerbook is what I need.

[JJ]

I would skip mac min then. Despite being really powerful for MorphOS and very portable. Lacks decent expandability
