I've heard this one before. And I'm still not convinced that it's not worth it.

enough motivation.

I have 2 of these myself, and I intend to buy more PPC hardware when
I'm financially able to. Still, I didn't mean this only as in a way to
keep legacy PPC machines running BeOS-alikes; I meant it as in
enabling next-generation PPC hardware to run countless man-years of
great BePPC software made thoughout the lifespan of Be, Inc.
