iFusion is supposedly nearly finished...

Not that PPC macs are very fast, I've seen a 603 160 running and it's
slower then the 68k side of my amiga, and that's with just AGA!
(well, feels slower anyway)

How about <cough> downloading one <cough> ? ;)

Also you don't need a rom image for PPC macs, according to AA

Well that doesn't make much sense at all, how can you have the wrong
keyboard?

I don't like macs myself, I'd even rather use a PC then one

See ya :)
