- Just speculation here (from me, that is), sorry. It seems to me that the most
- likely scenario in this (if there even *is* a likely one) is that AT gets help
- with porting to PPC and gets QuickTime for the Amiga and Apple gets another
- PPC manufacturer whose systems can run Copeland.
-
- This would be good for *both* companies, because there would also be more
- machine out there that could run PowerAmigaDOS. This means more income for
- everyone, which means more machine development from AT as well, BTW.
