Right, and I think that is a junction. Had Motorola not been enamoured with the new shiny as a chipcompany and realized that they already had a huge market that just wanted improved performance of their software and pushed 68k improvements instead of a new PPC architecture, both Apple and (a better managed) Commodore could've been competitive with improved 68k designs.

Remember, Intel also barked up the wrong tree with Itanium for 64bit and didn't really let go until AMD forced their hand with x64.
