Well, I`m very glad to hear the news and I know that H&P already started on
AmigaOS PPC some time ago, but (there`s always a but :-) ) isn`t AmigaOS4.0
where MorphOS is at now...already (native ppc exec, native ppc gfx, some
native drivers, native ppc TCP/IP, native MUI etc.) - with the exception of
course that AmigaOS4.0 requires new hardware to run (AmigaONE) and MorphOS
runs on current hardware...
Food for thought indeed....
