My feeling was that the Mac platform was a much better design with a
lot more to offer.  And, unless I'm mistaken, I thought the Mac
machines were supposed to be PReP compliant.  Although I'd love to see
NetBSD run on a PowerMac and make itself look like the Mac nanokernel
so the Mac OS runs under NetBSD :-), I would take either platform any
day over another Intel junk heap.

You know it!
