What the heck? ARM?
PPC man!
 
We still have PPC and it's not outdated at all. It could be a bit more expensive than ARM, but we already have a line on it and we don't need to shift to another non-compatible processor family, specially since ARM cannot emulate PPC.
 
If you want an ARM you should consider on buying an Efika MX... Big mistake genesi made there.
 
PPC is still alive and really alive, and it can match x86 computing power, look to the PS3 powerful and cheap, so we don't need to shift to ARM or whatever. We can survive with these "outdated macs" that apple doesn't support anymore and that are really powerful for our daily use. Or even we can have some new project PPC based. Piru and team made it with MorphOS, and i'm sure they will keep on supporting that "outdated macs"...
 
I can't wait to have MorphOS installed on a G5 quad core. Or on a new-brand PPC based amiga board.
 
That's the way ahead.

Why is the efika mx a bad idea, beacuse of the cpu?  I belive thats the same chip thats in the new Nokia N900 , which is pretty amazing, my friend has one and its a nifft chip with seperate video/audio and call related cores.

Sorry but "bang paths" sounds disgussting. Same as discharge just sounds wrong.

N900 video is a separate chip aswell as call related stuff (the modem). Efika mx doesn't have those.
 
Posted with N900 btw.

 
What do you think of it.  My friend has one but he is not the best person on sounding out a phone.  I know its basically a linux handheld computer that they have for the first time for this series added call functions to.

Reviews I have read have said its great if you want to get your hands dirty ( that me all over), but the phone side of things not great.
