hello morphix people. i just wanted to say thanks for your creation. (more specifically, morphix lite) but the game and heavy are great as well... but here's a story for ya. I tried a few failing movies at my friends house (running M$ windows) couldn't get them to work.. seemed like terror having avi's.. anyways, he didn't need them, said i could have them, so i took them home, fired up the morphix lite, and 6 out of the 6 movies that failed with the different software in windows, worked FLAWLESSLY in morphix. i just love this thing. has everything i need. the game cd even has a great working demo of ut2003. I'm a thrilled fan. so thanks again.

Looking for an icecream, the city wasn't friendly to the stranger. And the operating system in the laptop crashed again. Only morphix was able to help me, connecting my laptop to the telephone line cables of a public phone, downloading the "Interactive Map Of Icecream Dealers In Stranger Cities". So I could find the next Icecream dealer 300 meters far from me and so morphix saved my life again, thank you, we love you.

I was visiting my sisters house. My nephews and niece were bored with their N64, gameboy, and Windows games. So I downloaded the gamer edition. We spent all day playing the games. We especially liked icebreaker. It also taught them how to go into bios and change the computer so it boots to cdrom first. They now know how to do it because next time I visited they did it themselves. -zzyzxrd

Taking an Linux class at college, and the first day we had a guest speaker come in and explain how you could practice with Linux at home if you bought Partition Magic and repartitioned your hard drive to preserve your windows partition. He even suggested we put money together to buy a copy for the class to use. Then I said "Or I could burn Morphix CDs for everyone" Neither of the two CS Professors who were there, or anyone else in the class even knew what I was talking about. Come monday, I'll see to it that they are all running Morphix
hi there
[edit] I love morphix!
5) I was on a secret spy mission in central Russia and luckily I had a recent copy of Morphix with me. I heard the guards coming so I sharpened the edges of the cd and killed them all by throwing the cd like a ninja star. Thanks Morphix =)

I install a vast amount of utter crud on my hard drive and thus I end up ruining my OS setup every month or so, leading to a unbootable disk I have to reformat, I used to keep a hard drive with window ME on so I could boot and get on the Internet until I got around to formating the drive, now all I need is to pop in a Morphix cd and tada, the network configures and im online straight, no messing about with another hard drive,
woo woo, big up morphix
Oktober P.s. checked your spelling for you.

One of our branch offices was undergoing an accounting audit. It was important that they produce copies of numerous past invoices. While trying to print out these, the printing process locked up. They rebooted the Windoze XP machine and only then realized the password protection was known only to the guy on vacation. I went over with my Morphix Lite CD, booted up, activated USB storage, accessed the XP hardrives and copied the desired invoices to a USB drive for printing on another PC. Go Morphix

I was trying to create a linux partition for Morphix on my notebook, but the non-linux partitioner got confused (or maybe it was me) and I ended up with a nonbootable machine with a hidden Windows partition. I booted Morphix, unhid the partition and reset the boot flag, and I was AOK

One of the people on my IT staff had a hard drive with linux on it from way back (7 year ago, I think) that she needed to get data off. Plugging the drive into a generic PC and booting resulting in the dreaded 'LI' hang from LILO. I fired up morphix, mounted and browsed her drive and recovered the data.

All I wanted to do was to test a piece of hardware. I downloaded the Morphix CD, booted the computer, left it running firefox on pbskids.org and left it in the hands of a five year old. Next day the system was unresponsive. No problem! Rebooted and it was just like new.
Continued testing with two year olds. Had to replace the cdrom drive, I was unable to remove the peanut butter.

me and my girlfriend were messing about trying to install debian on her laptop, on a usb flash drive, and we accidentally installed grub to the harddrive instead of the usb drive. it didn't like this, and suddenly windows would not boot! (i think of this as a good thing but she uses windows as well as linux, oh well) sooo, a temporary fix until she could get her windows recovery cd from home (as she's going back on the train today) is to give her one of my morphix discs which has a handy little "Boot from first harddisk partition" option, which boots windows for her! (yuck, but now she won't kill me!)
