Benchmarks With OSNews really diving into the world of the Amiga as of late, with a review of AmigaOS 4.1 on ACube's sam440ep and an upcoming review of MorphOS 2.3 on an Efika, it was kind of coincidental that we have a set of benchmarks comparing MorphOS 2.3 and AmigaOS 4.1 to one another, both running on the Pegasos II machine.

I'm all for really alternative OSes (as in not nix variants) but seeing two obscure ones battling over an outdated platform we can't even get...

At least most of us might one day be able to run something like Haiku or ReactOS on an older PC; but I really wonder what keeps MorphOS or AmigaOS developers going. I'm not saying they should stop, I'm just curious is all.

Why do people insist upon listening to the music that was on the radio back when they were 18... for the rest of their lives? (Even forcing it upon their hapless guests, or customers in any retail stores they might own.) I've always wondered about that. And I'll bet that the answer relates to your question, as well.

Actually, your argument would make sense if people listening to old music were still doing so using their eight tracks.

I can listen to music while coding something other people will use ;)

But if I were a musician, what would be the motivation of releasing something only on vinyl? I think that's a more appropriate analogy.
