- This statement is totally wrong.. Amiga's run mac software at the same or
- faster speed with the same processors. They run perfectly and just as if
- you had a real mac.

- You are missing the point, nobody here wants to use a lame mac, they
- want the Amiga OS/Envirnoment. That is what keeps Amiga owners. Mac and
- ibm os's suck. We want the nice running Amiga OS. We being able to emulate
- ibm's and mac's is just a bonus that some use, but most don't. Most are quite
- happy with their Amiga's and the applications on Amiga.

- Whatever Power PC Chips / mhz that is out at the time.. Basicly the same
- as what Amiga owners will use in 1997. So what is your point?
