    As long as I can recall there has been no name for MorphOS users. On other forums people talk about "red pill" and "blue pill" but I never liked this because you can't be blue and red.

    So what do we call ourselves ?

    [list]MorphOSsers[/list]
    [list]MOSsers[/list]
    [list]Morphers[/list]
    [list]Musers (as in muse, from MorphOS users)[/list]
    [list]Mophers (pronounced "moffers", from MorphOS users)[/list]

    I like "Musers". Any more suggestions ?

    it's simply MorphOS users. Anything which cuts down MorphOS to just "MOS" is bad.. as MOS can by anything and nothing. Writing the full name of the OS is best you can do also when naming the users. ;)

    The problem with all those nicknames you mention is that they sound too similar to the names used for methamphetamine addicted homeless people from my Country.

    mos users are mossers, no doubt and if it sounds like some drug addiction patology, well it is.

    @cecilia

    I'm not sure there is anything Amiga about my computer any more and these days Amiga Inc doesn't have the best image. I know there are MorphOS users on classic PowerUP systems too. I also like all flavours.

    "Amigans" was a Petro invention, I think it's better if these names come from users not from CEOs.

    @Darth_X

    Ha ha, are you saying we're not all addicts ? ;)

    Why do you think people liked "red pills" and "blue pills" ?

    Let's face it, some people call us MZ people "zoners" which sounds like a drug enhanced state...

    @tokai

    Good suggestion! Seriously!

    But c'mon, we can be more creative than that! Think back to those inspirational days when new computers were signed by the design team, including the dog! You don't see that on Apple products do you ?

    What about inspiration from the butterfly logo ? i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpho_%28butterfly%29
    Apparently the "tribe" is called Morphini.

    Any comments from MorphOS team ? :)

    MorphOS is Amiga done right! :-)
