- The Mac Quadra uses a 40, and I understood that everything has to be
- rewritten to run on it. Doesn't the 40 have some very different ways of
- doing things, and aren't some instructions just gone and others added?
- Wouldn't that mean the 40 machine would be a "from-the-ground-up" kind of
- thing like the quadra is supposed to be?
-
- Just wondering.
