I think it looks nice. I bought a book on PPC assembler so I'd know whether
I wanted a PowerAmiga or not (my only consideration is whether it will be
fun to program, not the OS, not the hardware, not the software available),
and have been studying it.

I intend to write an article about the similarities and differences in
assembly coding on 680x0 and PPC, for coders.. it'll be in the next issue
of our diskmag "Defy" and also on the Cydonia website when it's written..
