The reason thing that makes PPC viable is its reliability/stability its low noise (noise bothers alot of computer users), its clean assembler (so I'm told),...it has its merit ... OSX/MorphOS are the two reasons I will go PowerPC... I want a PPC970 to run OSX (good stable, mainstream Unix) and MorphOS (fast/lite amiga compatible OS)... I hope by this time next year I'm running a Peg2 and Dual G5 2ghz mac!... thats my dream for later this year!... I can keep hoping!

I wouldn't be so sure about the noise issue, my G4 eMac is by far the noisiest computer I've ever owned. I've also heard complaints about G4 PowerMacs causing too much noise as well. Personally for a Pegasos or A1 I'd go for a quieter G3 model as you don't need the same grunt that OS X requires with an Amigaiod OS.
My main reason for going for a G4 computer was nowt to do with PPC or harware design, but rather OS X and the whole "lifestyle computer" package Apple are so good at. Similarly I'd only get an PPC amiga if OS 4 turns out how I hope it will, if not I'd be better off going for x86 and AROS and UAE.
