I cannot speak for everyone, but I am using my Power Macs actively.
Agreed, I also run the operating systems of that time on them, together
with the software of that time, but they are of use, and they keep me
from buying yet another cheap computer that would be able to do the same
task...
Until recently, Linux has been the only operating system that kept those
machines current, because if it can run on a Raspberry Pi, why not on a
Power Mac G4 or a Power Mac G5?
Why would I want to through out working computers and replace them with
new ones, just because the new ones happen to be little endian?
