Subject: Not OT: Classic apps and the Intel Mac
Well, the Intel Mac has emerged and with that we can
conclude that the end
of the Classic era is near, as Rosetta will officially not support Classic
applications.
This means a lot of legacy software is now suddenly worthless on the next
generation of Macintoshes. Worse, I'm hearing a rumour that 10.5 will
strip
Classic out even for PPC Macs. Has anyone else heard
this?
I still use a number of 68K apps I picked up for a song because they do
the
job, they're fast, and they were cheap. I'm
not giving that up so easily.

I have a shelf full of boxed 68k/early PPC software in my collection, funny
how cheap this stuff has become lately.
