Thanks, I though I was the only one that remembered it still. I was salivating for an Apple designed PPC back then and was devastated when they switched to Intel. Even though it was probably the right decision, the world got a little more boring with effectively a single ISA for mobile and desktop. Same with OSs, something died with the original classic OS that never recovered, even though pragmatically, I love being able to run Photoshop on laptop Unix machine.

Yes, I remember the feeling well when the announcement came out. And I agree that Apple's human interface zenith was sometime in the classic Mac OS timeframe. Oh, well, I've got a Talos now. I don't suffer any illusions that it'll bring Power ISA back to the desktop in any great numbers, but it's at least competitive.
