Yep, Ronald I am with you here.
For sure a g5 is nice, but the sw side has to improve first. No real need for a G5 now, a higher 7447A will do the job pretty fine and needs no redesign of the Peg. Also remember that the 7447A is produced by Freescale which are somehow partnered to genesi now while the G5 is made by IBM who are not that familiar with Genesi.
Also do not forget that the G5 is not a mysterious wonder chip, but "only" a fast 64 Bit PPC. The G4 is not bad compared to the g5. There are higher priorities than a G5 Peg currently, in the long haul of course the G5 would be nice (also is the Freescale e700 but that one is vapour currently while the IBM G5 is not)

Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
