- Apple will move to PowerPC, but not too quickly - 68060 will kill
- PowerPC when running all those 68k-programs. When most of the most
- sucessfull programs are converted to PowerPC-code is the earliest time
- Apple will abandon 68k.

- I have always wondered where all those 68k-chips go as Apple and
- Commodore and all those laser printers can't be the only ones using
- 68k as 68k-series sells a lot more than those combined. Anyone have
- any idea (excluding MB)?

- Well, we don't really know when P5 or 060 come out - I'm sure both
- companies will find a few more reasons to pospone the realease date by
- few monts...
