That way they wouldn't ruffle any feathers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well if Apple did that they would make a lot of Mac users pissed as hell. Remember the Mac is generic hardware that's why you can run their software on a ST or Amiga. The code will be binary compatible no matter what, because the CPUs are in the same family. No matter what they do short of redesigning the Mac will stop ST and Amigas from running Mac software. If they redesign see the above problem about pissing folks off. Like I said generic 68k hardware, nothing really special except the OS. >or cause any great legal arguments.
