Yes, if you look arround in the computing industry today (non-microsoft areas) then you see this a lot, and qwuite frankly this frustrates me, for once I want someone to be bold enough to take a risk and so this is what I want to do. Just like all risk takers I can't do it alone, I need help in several areas, especailly financially.
I would imagine that it would be an effort too far for volunteer/open source. After all, POP has already been designed and companies are loath to make the investment required for VLSI or even PCB.
Perhaps it would be more productive (and realistic) to join forces with Linux PPC and lobby IBM for a PPC Linux workstation instead of Power4 etc.
