i dont know why ppl are still arguing about ppc & x86.
the path has been chosen & there is nothing any of us can do about it atm.
just like fighting over wich party is in power , you make your vote & thats it you have to wait 4 to
5 years in the uk to change
the ppl in power.
it no good missing the deadline to vote then start moaning about the ppl in power you had your chance
but like alot of ppl cant be botherd to get of there ass & vote. then a week after moan & say that
75% population who satt on there asses wanted the other party.
& even if that were true the 75% would not be able to change the ppl in power untill the next time.
so you end up with ppl in power that only 25% of the ppl wanted.
its not the 25% ppls fault but the fault of the 75% who should of cast there vote when they had the
chance.
now as far ppl saying that amiga should of gone x86 this time around, its too late you should of
spoken up much sooner.
many amiga ppl knew for a very long time that amiga had a 80% chance of going ppc, as phase5 made
amigappc cards.
its seems to me that most of the for x86 ppl have not been keeping an eye on the amiga scene & have
been spending most of there time on windows & linux, thinking that the amiga is dead.
then amiga.inc,eyetech.hyperion, & others start to do things again, then the amigaone/aos4 is
announced
& still no word from the x86 ppl they dont keep up on the amiga scence.
then things move on to point where that things look like it may be really happening & its not just
vapor & then non amiga sites start to mention whats going on & there will most likelly be new amiga
products, so the x86 ppl get wind of that
& go & see what the new amiga & os spec is & then think oh damn its not useing a x86 as i had hoped,
or even if it was useing x86 would then moan that its a custom mobo useing x86 & that they wanted to
use amigaos on the x86 mobo they already have.
so then they flood into forums & try to give valid reasons why amiga should go x86 & not ppc, weather
they are right or wrong does not matter, they are to late this time around.
just like when apple had to move on from the 68k. i bet if most of the apple users asked for x86 at
the time before thing were set in stone, they most likely would of gotten it. even tho it would of
been a custom apple x86 computer.
all things change over time 68k,x86,ppc,arm,sparc, ..ect will not be around for ever, even if the
name stays the same the chip in years to come will be compleatly different.
just make sure that when its time to move cpu or anyother matter with amigaOs again, that your around
to cast your views when it matters & not after.
