Well, yeah.

But dealing with PCs can make you that way.

Just ordered myself a new 933Mhz G4 with PowerPC.  No Linux on this
thing, though -- OS X.

ObA2: So how fast would an Apple emulator run on it.  How about if it
was running under Virtual PC?  If it was running under SoftPC on vMac II
compiled for 68K under classic?
