I'd rather a C21 Amiga, myself - but they went PowerPC, meaning they
are in an even smaller niche today than they used to be.

If only Transmeta were still going. It would have been possible, with
the right "CodeMorphing" firmware, for a Transmeta machine to run
PowerPC or MC68060 code... Or maybe even both. Such a shame they
died... :¬(
