I missed out on the Amiga days, as I was growing up on the ignorant PC platform. The A-EON will be great (if it can sell) and it isn't a 74XX (G4) Chip as thats not in the POWERISA 2.04. What is are: Titan, PWRficient, 970(G5)

I think the PWRficient will be the one to be in the A-EON as it is rarely seen in the wild (Since PA Semi was snapped up).

As for the OP's question, no, the Amiga cannot exist as it did in the 80's, because of Micro$haft and Steve Jobs turning into a Pr!ck for going intel (The PA-6T outperformed the Core Duo) but I forgive him, but I won't buy a Macbook until he revives the names: PowerMac, Powerbook, iBook. Because Mac Pro, MAcbook (Pro) suck compared to it.

During Core Duo era, PA-6T wasn't available. Intel Core Duo was quickly replaced by Intel Core 2.

I also love my G4 mac because I delight in OSX 5 working so well while SpamDows CEMENT (Win CE, ME, NT) run unusably in VPC and Q. And at least Apple's minimum specs for each OS X make sure the machine can run OS X decently.

As for Dammy, the PPC platform has just as much potential as the day the 601 was unveiled, but the higher cost and x86 BS being spread ruined its chances,

Apparently, IBM PowerPC 970 was not price competitive against AMD Athlon 64.

 the new i7 still can't do what a 603 can (Run in Big Endian, produce good Power-to-watt ratios)
.)

WTF is this? LOL at your "Power-to-watt" ratios.

If the PS3 was turned into a home computer with a custom Linux running windows under an emu layer, people wouldn't know its PPC and stuff. Also, tell me when an x86 can run an x64 application, because PPCs can run 64bits if needed (at a slight drop in performance.)

X64 = X86-64 i.e. part of X86 family. Pray and tell if your G4 can run 64bit OS and Apps.

Care for rematch?

Netbooks are cr@p, it's the iPad and all the iPad clones that it will inspire that are the real Amiga 500s..


Netbooks are also tablet PCs e.g. ASUS EeePC T91.
