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.

I want both and like BeOS was at the end. We'll see which one is more popular. Maybe if BeOS had gone x86 sooner, they wouldn't dead and torn limb from limb, then have some company take a wiss on their grave.:(

Workbench should feel faster because it is partially in ROM. Windows having to run off the hard drive and shared RAM makes it a slug for snappiness.:(

So IBM can actually design what they say they will as opposed to intel who lets marketing department run design?
I think the same of Motorola, they were pretty unreliable.

If the Pandora game system can sell for $350 in such modest quantities, then it has to be possible to create a low-end PPC Amiga for that price, even if it's just a motherboard and CPU.

Arms are cheap, PPC are expensive.
Look at the price of just the SAM motherboard, no extras.
