No one cares about the end of G3/G4 and the 68k cpu for new amiga and accelerators ?  :-o

Interesting. We will have to see what happens.
I'd hope the ppc processors aren't stopped and I wouldn't have thought they would be. If the 68k ones are stopped it probably won't affect amigans much as there aren't any 68k accelerators being made any more!
