All the same, Gerard, there are some people, like me, who still use Fedora on PowerPC architecture. So while Apple no longer creates PPC machines, and I cannot speak for PlayStation, the fact that there are still a lot of PPC-based Apple hardware still running (a testament to Apple's hardware quality which, with a few exceptions, is fairly top-notch) is something that shouldn't be ignored, despite dwindling numbers.<br>
<br>This is probably not the right place to talk about this, however it bears mentioning.<br><br>Larry Cafiero<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, May 9, 2010 at 4:56 PM, Gerard Braad <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gbraad@fedoraproject.org">gbraad@fedoraproject.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I do not want to upset anybody, but I recently had to edit the page<br>
for the Secondary Architectures and asked one of the members of the<br>
PPC team why they had two different groups for their effort; being<br>
ppc32 and ppc64. I changed the page as they both referred to the same<br>
project :-s. The team member responded: 'However, due to fact that<br>
PowerPC is decaying, nobody cares'.<br>
<br>
Somehow he is correct about this. Apple does not create any hardware<br>
based on the PowerPC... even Sony dropped the alternative OS support<br>
in their Playstation's... so, it will be hard to get a consumer device<br>
that runs a PowerPC. Is it therefore a good idea to mention it? IMHO<br>
it would be a belated announcement for a dying platform. :-(<br>
<br>
kind regards,<br>
