However, the idea of elegantly killing the // line with a Mac that runs //x software does seem to coincide with the way Apple's marketers would think. I believe this would be a terrible tragedy. I pray for a better //gs because of project I have been nursing that could make it outstanding. A mac with a 65816 on board would be a cheap and inadequate substitute, but many mac-lovers I know would see this as perfectly reasonable. However, Apple's marketers will do whatever they do, which in more recent years seems to be geared to simply a fast buck instead of a long-term investment in customer loyalty.
