If you knew a damn thing about anything, you would know that Apple isn't the only buyer of PPC chips. They're also used for network hubs and routers and other embedded devices. At least have a few basic facts down before you start trolling.
Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.
