@Ben

Do you really think that you will ever be able to replace all the
legacy-stuff  with PPC-native SW ?

How long did it take until someone could finally live without AA
after the GFX-cards were introduced ? How many developers were
active back than, and how much are now ? Why did Apple need years
for it, when they are 100 times bigger than anything "Amiga" ?

Ever thought about a career as stand-up-comedian ?  :ranting:  :flame:  :crazy:  :boohoo:
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@elektro

Ben has been writing about the elimination of the need for a 68k-emu,
which would only be possible if all SW that one needs is rewritten for PPC.
People who didn't want to use AA (or didn't have like Draco) faced the same
problem when they tried to find RTG-replacements for their AA-SW, and
Apple still has the 68k-emu in the system.

And I said that this will NEVER happen as their won't be enough new
SW by the few developers left to replace all the old 68k-SW.

The transition from AA (or OCS) dependant SW to RTG-compatible SW was
similar as it also needed lot of replacements for old SW. The years
this took (or Apples journey to PPC) serve as an perfect example of the
problems you will encounter before you could come to the point Ben
has been writing about.
