well I think its fairly obvious that people want PPC emulation so that they can a) illegally run Mac OS X, and b) in this community anyway, illegally run OS 4, and c) possibly write an illegal emulator for the Gamecube
Now, with that said, emulation of the PPC is certainly not illegal, and if more than 1% of people actually want to work on the emulator for academic purposes in learning CPU design, or even just to run PPC Linux, or an OS that doesn't have EULA instructions against running on your x86 box.
Then I would even defend the effort.
But I doubt you'll get to the 1% level.
With that said, I simply understand how the PPC emulation conversation *could* offend someone.
I am not offended, and I know everyone here, was in fact, discussing it on pure technical curiosity level.
