Sounds good, but where the heck did the name 'Petunia' come from? That's not a very manly name;-)

Well Amiga, Paula, Agnes all sounded like names of girls, girlfriends etc. That's appealing to most men;-)

Now Petunia, Buster and Gary, I don't know what these people were thinking:-) But seriously for a fast 68K emulator I would expect a name like cyclone, raging bull, blitzkrieg, Tommy Gun, Naplam etc, not the name of a fragile flower:-D

using a non-JIT emulator in OS4 would have made it look silly.


Silly? That's putting it kindly:-) To use a dog slow non-JIT emulation would be pathetic and unnaceptable.
