Today's "Macs" are just PCs in an Apple branded box. But no one moans about that.
Actually if you look around the mac community there's a vocal minority who do complain about just that. They ascribe some kind of mystical magical spiritual significance to the old PPC chips. They speak of how not being "just a PC" somehow made the mac experience better. My mother-in-law rushed out to buy a Powermac just so she wouldn't have an intel mac - "Because of all the problems PCs have." (yes, this was her reason)
They're
stupid reasons, they're meaningless, made-up reasons...but they're reasons none-the-less.
It's kind of like the arbitrary lines drawn by some raving Amiga fanatics: how a COTS PPC motherboard made by a dying-now-dead Taiwanese company was somehow magically an Amiga, but Amithlon or WinUAE which are unarguably more capable of running Amiga software weren't Amigas.
Frankly I hope CUSA provides - either through UAE/WinUAE or some other means - a method of seamlessly running Amiga apps on the new Amiga-branded hardware they sell. Not because I give a fig (software wise, there's nothing on the Amiga of any use to me except the occasional game), but just so it can be demonstrated who
actually sells an Amiga.
