Heh. Last year I found an app I'd last run on a PDP-11 20 years ago. The only thing I neede to do to it to make it run on an Alpha was fix a system call that added delay so an ASCII animation effect was slow enough to see. And it turned out that was a bug in the original, it's just that the PDP-11 was so slow I'd never noticed the delay was missing in the animation. Back to Steve, the thing I noticed was that the Dashboard widgets he was showing off were all web-based, they had no native code. See, Rosetta doesn't let you run PPC plugins in an x86 app. :) -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
