And if he's using it as a PC, it would be easy to say it's not an Apple
IIGS..

What if it was a Mac?  Motorolla based CPU architecture??

Does it have to be 65x architecture?  PPC??

What if it's running an emulator?  Is emulated hardware not the same?  What
if the emulated hardware were more compatible than processor cycles??  (i.e.
What if an emulated 6502 is more compatible with the original 6502 than the
65816?)  Do you need a progession of less and less compatible for it to be
considered an upgrade?

If I took a souped up Wintel box and put Wunuae (Amiga emulator) in it and
put it in an Amiga 4000 case.
Amiga Keyboard, Amiga compitable floppies (using Catweasel), and set it to
boot STRAIGHT into WinUAE and AmigaDOS..  You might not be able to tell the
difference...

At what point is it no longer an upgrade?

And at what point does it no longer matter...

How similar is a phone to a PC with IP Telephony and a gateway?  Is it a
modern phone?
