It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

I think you cannot install MacOS X if you are using any PowerPC mainboard made by IBM or other company. Am I right ?
PowerPC is a good processor but it cannot compete with the Intel's or AMD's large scale of production. G5 is good but is very expensive when compared to the last Athlon 64 or Pentium 4 HT processors.
Darwin is open but nobody uses it because the Mac OS X appeal is your proprietary and closed GUI.
Safari is good but I can use konqueror and gecko-based browsers also in linux.
Here in Brazil we not change our old computers by new computers like americans. We make incremental upgrades (we buy more RAM, change hd, install new processors, etc) year by year because our "beige" PCs are assembled by the own users or by little shops. Technical support is cheap and software licences are very very expensive (it is based on over-priced dollar).
