Mike's board does look interesting.
But what do I know? Hotrod says I'm a retard and I'm using "that ghastly PPC nonsense". 
Well clearly, next you'll start extolling the benefits of that damned Bolshevik DMA malarky!
Since I graduated College with Honors I'm not too worried about Hotrod's opinion, but the PPC thing seems shaky at times (I already lost the bet when I was working with 68K hardware).
Tbh having read the calm, reasoned explanations in answer to the original question, even by people I'd usually class as hardline MOS users, I was astonished at the flailing headstick response from the OP. Gratz on the graduation.
