What about upgrading all the hardware *around* the PPC...
Ok, so Motorola can't produce the next generation, faster processor to put in a Mac and let us catch up to x86 a little more. Boo hoo - it's all Motorola's fault.
Well, there's more to a computer (and its speed) than the processor. I think Apple should use this opportunity to entice buyers with upgrades in all the other nooks and crannies of the PowerMacs. Faster bus, faster memory, faster i/o, graphics ... on and on. All of that stuff is doable... now.
A dual 1GHz (or even 800MHz!) G4 with a kick-ass computer built around it would be a VERY NICE bump.
