Re: why choose PPC for OS5? f*@k that. we need x86

now a thread I can bite into; I completely agree with this.  Modern x86 chips are (as we know better than any other platform user base), very capable of emulating the older stuff.  Mac went that was, (I know), so should we.  

It would give the development community reason to accept Amiga once again.  -there is still room for custom chips if the OS can handle it at that level.  porting would be easier and we'd see the dream kept alive.  

I think that OS4 is the vital chain in this; what I mean is people need to see OS4 and regard it as a serious contender (albeit on a small user base), and that may spur interest in developing apps for an OS5.

I'd be a supporter of this (mm how many times did I say that in the CBM years)....
