Andre, UAE is jokingly called the "Unusable Amiga Emulator"...the
thing is SLOW.  The concept is similar to XGS and is geared for
portability, not speed.  Something optimized like "Bernie Amiga for
PowerMac" would could be MUCH faster and better.  This is just a
thought.  If you guys need a project to persue, I am sure many will
look forward to a "Bernie Amiga" Amiga emulator for the PowerMac.

Actually, there is a MUCH better Amiga emulator for the Pentium
Wintel that runs MUCH faster than UAE and is MUCH more
compatible.  It was reviewed in an Amiga magazine just a few
months ago...the name escapes me at the moment...
