- *IF* you have an 060/50 WITH a $500, fast graphics card, THEN you can
- run a Mac nearly as fast as the slowest PowerPC Macintosh ever made,
- the 6100/60. There is no current Macintosh made (of the PPC series,
- of which only 1 Mac doesn't belong) that is nearly that slow.
-
- Clues in hell? Oh, really? How many, or what percentage, of Amiga
- owners own an 060? I suspect it's a _very_ low percentage.

- Via MacOS, sure. What happens when most Mac apps become PPC-only?
- Many games already are PPC-only, or heavily optimized for the PPC.

- Yes, because I care about what I can do on the machine, and a PC lets
