I think the same, but it's getting harder to find PPC machines.
s/machines/desktop machines. You can find all kinds of PPC machines, just
typically not in desktop form. The only new one that I am aware of is the
fixstars.us Powerstation.
Is there another big-endian platform that is on the upswing?
Not to my knowledge, but I haven't paid much attention to that. We do have
secondary arches at least building, like sparc and s390x. I have a ppc
effort 1/2 going.
