A POP-Box is a computer which most likely will sit on (below?) my desk next
year (together with my current AMIGA's). First as Linux-Box, but if
everything goes well, then it will become an AMIGA-Box, too, running AOS
(PPC-)natively, WarpUp through wrapper implementations and all other
68K soft through emulation. Nothing's sure yet (as always), but the
direction has been set.
