But there ARE computers that are called "Amiga" and have been expanded with an accelerator with an PowerPC chip onboard.
I have one of them.


Why doesn't that argument mean that x86 is fine too? I had a bridge board in my A2000.

I do have a soft spot for PPC, and I dislike x86 a great deal despite using it daily (or perhaps because of...) but I think a lot of the opposition to x86 in the Amiga camp(s), including much of my own, is emotional rather than based on anything rational.
