The trouble with most of these guys is that they are Pentium nuts.  I 
think the Pentium 4 might be better for some duties, but overall I 
still think the PowerPC design has some merits that makes it a better 
choice than the Pentium.  If you try to explain to these megahertz 
crazy x86 guys the relative merits of a 64-bit RISC processor that only 
dissipates 19 watts at a clock speed of 1.2 gigahertz, it goes right in 
one ear and out the other, usually.  Most of them don't know the 
difference between 32-bit and 64-bit, or RISC or CISC; they just want 
to go buy a $999 Dell and throw OS X in it.
