I've heard that Apple is changing their tune when it comes to the PowerPC.
As I understand it, they are much more liberal with getting developers of
all kinds documentation to the PowerPC chip and the machine that they are
building around it.  I could be wrong, but that's what I've heard.

By the way, not to be a pest, but how's the IIci/IIsi Internal video
kernel coming?

Still anxiously awaiting...
