THe baseline CPU was a 350 Mhz cpu - a 9600 with a G3 500 smokes that - in
fact, what was the fastest shipping apple when the beta was released ? 600
G4? hardly a big enough boost to warrent killing off those machines - it is
for me to decide what and how I will run my software, not Apple.
But since Apple has choosen this path - I have choosen Intel hardware - it's
better supported by the existing OS'es.
