Nobody thinks 68k is the future. :-D

If somehow someone could come up with a 1GHz+ 68060, I'd go with that over anything else!

Facinating thought... A quick look at the Pentium III documentation show that the microcode* can be updated by the BIOS during the POST...
hmmm, my brain starts to wander... Some with expereince in PentiumIII microcode code could, I'm sure recode the PIII to become 68k compatible... of course there is the endieness issue :-? (which could be worked out, though I imagine at a performace price).
If the PIII can be microcode updated on the fly... maybe the Athlon64 could be too!!! :-D

BTW, if anyone did write a 68k compatible microcode update for a 1Ghz PIII, I'd by it from them in a flash!!! :-o

*Microcode is the lowest low level programming language of the CPU... the CPU instructions are coded in Microcode, and one can alter the CPU's instruction set by Coding the Microcode.  

When rumors of "Transmeta & Amiga" were flying about a few years ago, I figured they had something like this up their sleeves.
