- Assuming no that we'll indeed see PoerPC basd Amigas, are you no
- trying to suggest it might be better to remain stuck to technology
- outdated years ago?

- By the time you might be able to buy a PowerAmiga, anyone still

- are about 1/100 of the speed of a new machine) will most likely be too
- cheap to buy any new software either. And if you do feel like you should
- provide 680x0 users new software, just compile two versions. Big deal.
