I for one am trying to keep going on PowerPC as long as possible. I'm  
a fan of the RISC philosophy and I find my PPC systems to be very  
capable. Never have had a G5, but if I ever find a quad CPU model to  
buy and I actually have money, I'll have to pick one up. Shame  
applications are coming out Intel-only, such as Heroes of Might &  
Magic V. I'm counting on qemu making running Intel apps on PPC  
possible - that would be fun.
