- I never suggested that Commodore should abandon Amigas without MMUs. That
- would be insanity. But that wouldn't prevent moving the OS on MMU-based
- machines to Mach. Also, note that it's possible to make Mach work without
- an MMU, although it's rather crippled compared to what it can do with one.
- That's what MachTen for the Mac does, I hear.
