I cant agree with Dave Haynie more!
 
As a bonafide C= hardware engineer, is there anyone in Amiga-land who can counter his argument with more authority?

It's kinda nice when it comes from straight the horses mouth isnt it?

@Nitro.

As of right now there are a total of ZERO playstations with a PPC CPU.

The PS1 had a MIPS R3000A-compatible (R3051) 32bit RISC chip running at 33.8688 MHz.

The PS2 has a MIPS R5900 CPU core, 64 bit.

bhoggett, wot he said +1.

If only theyd ported to even a limited number of modern X86 boards, I wouldve gone out the next day bought said board and a copy of OS4 and had myself a AmigaOS-only-PC up and running that day.

I think there are more than a few other Amiga-folk who wouldve too?

To hell with hardware zealotry!

The Amiga cant afford it, anyone carrying on with that old tradition, should be shot down in pieces by the rest of the community for being self indulgent and short sighted.

On the other hand, if obscurity is what the hardcore element wants, they're more than welcome to it, just dont complain that your skills and knowledge are redundant in the modern computing world.
