- IMHO PPC will be too slow in a few years time. We aren't seeing relevant new
- PPC developments anymore. Unless the situation changes (I doubt it) i see
- the new Intel/HP partnership as an opponent which will make PPC into
- pieces.
-
- The new Intel/HP alternative will be IMO a HP-PA with 80x86 emulation
- (unless Intel break their partnership in the way...)
-
- The new Power Amiga, if is nothing than PowerMac clone with AmigaOS as an
- option, will die.
-
- Let's look at some facts:
- - For the Amiga to have any future it needs to be addressed to the market
- it belongs... DTV !
-
- Give me a Power Ami with PPC, NV1 and a Dec Alpha !
-
- (I'll write this better later i'm in a hurry right now...)
