- I rather doubt it.
-
- I like the Amiga about as much as anybody, and I also hate PCs about as
- much as anybody. But it pays to be realistic here. A PPC Amiga is not
- a magic bullet that is going to make the Amiga into the dominate
- computer or unseat the PC. Market reality is much more complex than you
- believe. If you think the PowerAmiga will be the dominate platform, you
- are just setting yourself up for a major disappointment when it doesn't.
-
- At most, a PPC Amiga might be a niche market. But it won't be easy, and
- will take a lot of effort and the right set of moves from AT.
