Elmer Replay

I remember... iirc IBM and Apple were already in an uphill struggle in these days.

If you consider Hammer as a replay, X86 will win again. :)
What convinced me from the very first moment of the idea is its evolutionary approach of transition. Everybody who tried a revolutionary approach in the last decade failed badly.

Btw, some DNA of the original PPC still lives in IBMs fourth (and soon fifth) generation of CPUs. Going into Macintosh as unicore-970 maybe - could stretch the life of this architecture for sometime longer.
