@Waccoon

Like it or not, PPC and non-secured filesystems are the future of Amiga -- because Hyperion either didn't think about the future, or didn't want to.

Not sure about the thoughts on the filesystem, but as far as PowerPC is concerned, Hyperion did very well to think about the future and the latest news on the Cell processor will attest to that phenomenon.

Cell processor will attest to what? That Computer architecture is still plodding down the same old path?

Old path?  Well if you consider PowerPC old, then I guess x86 falls under ancient (and eventually history)!

"Cell" is just a flashy buzzword... it will take time before anything general purpose will come from it.

Sorta like "Extreme" under Intel's Pentium line moniker, nothing really exciting beyond the hype marketing that drives the name?!
