Paul, I'm of the opinion that if the emulator doesn't run at least as fast as the original…who cares. Of course, in this case…I have no idea if the PowerPC in 68x emulation mode is or isn't faster than the original. As to porting the Mac OS…who cares. The OS is worthless unless the software companies also port their software…or the emulation mode is at least twice as fast as running on a native Mac (or whatever). It usually takes a 2x speedup for the users to really notice it. Don
