I should say "natively" compatible with both PowerPC and Intel (i.e.
PowerPC folks are not settling for any kind of inferior performance
with a Universal Binary). For most applications, creating a Universal
Binary is straightforward with Apple's development tools. As one
poster put it (paraphrased): "Developers have to work pretty hard
*not* to create a Universal Binary."
FInally, I'd caution against falling into LAGS - Latest and Greatest
Syndrome. A tool is only obsolete if it doesn't do what *you* want it
to do. So the real questions are: 1. What software do you really need/
want? 2. Will the next version of the software be available as a
Universal Binary? Perhaps the software isn't available yet as a
Universal Binary - in which case you *need* to retain your PowerPC-
based Mac.

Hi Richard,
Which software are you speaking of?
