GFX-BASE interviews Gregory Donner
« on: February 06, 2003, 11:22:41 PM »
Gregory Donner's website is known for its extensive information on 68k AmigaOS releases, as well as for Greg's OS.3.5/3.9 FAQ pages. GFX-BASE interviewed Greg with regard to his history with Amiga computers, his online efforts and also his beta-testing, as he is one of the current 60+ people beta-testing AmigaOS4.

It doesn't say that anywhere, because that would be incorrect.  And luckily for portable code it's not per se necessary to do all testing in a PPC native environment. Actually that's one of the most important advantages of using higher-level programming languages.

So if you have a proper background experience but solely have a powerful 68k solution available to you, you may still be helpful to the AmigaOS4 team.
