- As someone who grew up with Amiga... I find it amazing these boards still keep coming (X1000, X5000... anyone?) - they have always been insanely expensive for specs that are decade(s) old, all in the name of... really no idea what beyond "we can".
Or in other words: I wonder what if all that time, money and effort went into say AROS[1] and/or emulation. I can imagine still using AmIRC and HippoPlayer if I could run them as any other software on Linux.
- Amazing effort

- As a fan of older Macs, I didn't know there were any 64-bit PowerPC chips made after the Power Mac G5 and the Cell processors used in the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3.
This is cool; it would be cool to play with a modern, hobbyist 64-bit PowerPC board. I will be keeping an eye on this project!
