What IS your problem? You need to find someone else to bait like you're
trying to bait me, because I'm gonna start ignoring you.

For the record: I don't have a Powermac. I don't use emulators since I have
a real IIgs on my desk, another in the closet, and four more in the attic.
Along with older IIs, IIIs, and some Macs. There was a software emulator
called II in a Mac back in the Mac 512 days. Finally, Powermacs use software
emulation to run 68K apps, but no one considers them any less Macs. Indeed,
it's the 68K crowd who's getting treated like second class citizens nowadays.
