    And ARM's development, while impressive, still does not outperform our current ISA.


    Where the G5s are concerned, I don't think that's going to be true for much longer (see Nvidia and Samsung's latest announcements).

    So ARM for the future? Why>
    PPC still looks very attractive to me.


    Do the prices the OS4 guys pay for hardware look attractive to you?
    You're going to pay through the teeth for anything newer than the G5s if you want new hardware.

    The availability of PPC CPUs has never been a problem.
