Despite the expertise of bloodline or any other person,they can only offer their OPINION.

If someone wants to  make a new PPC  and you don't like it,you could just ignore it.

Too many experts DEMAND all users/customers must follow their advice and opinion;similar to other totalitarians like the globull warming bs.

PPC is dead when no one uses it.Just because the people who drive/restore/show certain old cars/tractors/computers are a tiny percentage of  the market doesn't mean they  can't enjoy  the activity.

And a PPC Mac port of Amiga OS or MorphOS or AROS for Mac will instantly have a huge pool of computers to run on.

Look,if the guy is happy just selling a one time break-even  run of several hundred collector's edition PPC boards,then  fine for him.

  I've sent my personal view which is $500  is my limit on buying a new PPC board just to be different and run old Amiga apps.Which is why SAM has yet to grace my desk.Likewise $100 for an OS.
 There is just too much cheap,proven x86 and Mac stuff out there.
 My OPINION is most of the  x86 PCs being bought today are vastly overpowered for the tasks they are doing.
Only the gamers and video enthusiasts push their machines.You don't need  multiGHz for email,bank statements,web browsing is still limited by the ISP more than the user's cpu.But we LIKE driving Ferraris 30mph to the grocery store because they look cool!
It is only we get all huffy because others won't follow our advice that it becomes a problem.

You couldn't be much worse than the current and past chairmen of GM or Chrysler.
Now the politicians are in charge and we have Generally Mandated and Fiasco!

Look,our mythical Greek hero is only testing the waters and evidently NOT expecting mass market appeal.You guys are like someone ridiculing a manufacturer bringing out a new line of buggy whips-he has a ready-made but small market in the Amish.
 
Amigans just might be the Amish of computing,except with poorer manners.

I am beginning to wonder about those people who  feel the need to ridicule anyone who is not in lockstep with their choice of the most common  computer/car/breakfast cereal;do they feel somehow threatened?

If you  are pretty sure of  at least  getting your money back then I hope these boards get made;and  they will be collectors items for the technophiles of the world.People buy limited edition  firearms at 10 times the price of ordinary ones with no intention of ever shooting it.People buy millions of dollars of  expensive holiday dioramas ,etc.
