A great big resounding NO.
 
Its interesting that so many people here, who should be their core market, are all saying no way to purchase this thing.
 
With so many big amiga fans here saying no, looks like that thing is doomed before its even available.
 
I can get a mac g4 and run morphos for much less, and also build a custom aros machine, I'd still have money left to buy a new windows pc
and a new netbook.
 
Gee, I wonder why no one will buy this thing?

I agree with Piru.
 
Powerpc macs are plentiful, cheap and plenty of spare parts.
 
What do you think a blown motherboard on the x1000 would cost you to replace? or do you just throw it in the trash and spend another 2500$ if that happens on a new one?
 
People are too hung up on the name. Morph is worlds ahead in terms of usability and its inexpensive in comparison too. The hardware available is
as powerful for a small fraction of the price.
 
If you like ppc, Morph on mac hardware is a great way to go I think.
Personally, I don't care about the hardware, I care about the software and the end user experience.
 
Price of the toys however, of course, is a concern for everyone.
