well said brother me too seems like old days ones with loudest voices are ones that
never put money to buy new hardware they bang on about how expensive hardware is, before that complaining no hardware
never please everone , l spent thousands on dvds some may think thats waste money its people choices what spend there money on
they want company to do all work for them then on whim after spent years of effort oh yeah lets just waste all that go x86 please
if ran biz it be bankrupt no time with that  attitude, for amiga to surive it needs point diffrence going x86 wont do that just be yet another pc clone
what company needs is strong leader who has vision why you think it took steve jobs to come back to save mac , not somone listens to ever
person that frankly probley never buy amiga product anyway banging on about what he wants

Well if you were an Amiga user back in the day,you may just get why some of us DO NOT WANT x86!

But don`t worry there`s always CommodoreUSA for ya,go knock yourself out with that junk.
well said

My reasoning was in trying to come up with any reason the company would stick with PPC.

Pros:
Captive hardware market
No cost of porting

Cons:
Users pay high prices
Users have slower systems
Lower adoption rate

The only pro's I see are due to greed.

If they didn't want a monopoly hardware market, why didn't they port to Mac hardware long ago like Morphos did?

I don't see any benefit to PPC for end users, only downsides.
actaully l think you have to look esle where you talking greed and starts with A and ends in inc

what l have read in the past in the orginal contract hpyerion where forbiden from porting
to x86 l would thought this still applys as from what understand they have the owership
of what they ported only .
remember they where given the task by amiga inc to port it they made the ppc descion
ad then they thought later oh are amiga anywhere tke f where intrested in orginal amiga os at all untill there plans never worked out.
