Haven't Amiga already stated that they are working on a solution that would
allow Classic PPC Amigas to run the new environment? 68k on the other hand
will not be supported since Elate does not support it (and AFAIK never will,
as Motorola, a partner/part owner (?) of Tao doesn't want it to?).
But I do agree, the market for a new Amiga environment on a Classic Amiga is
not very big, but the psychological effect could be significant. And since
the new Amiga is based on a virtual processor, it probably wouldn't require
that much of an effort... PowerPC the Elate already supports anyway.
