This has been part of the genius of Apple. 68K under PPC; Classic
under OS X. Sad to see this all go. I'm not too cheap to buy a new
machine. Have way more invested in older ones and multiple external
boot drives, which provide redundancy and a lot more functionality.
Always amazes me with "typical" consumer that has one PC and only one
hard-drive partition. In a pinch, I've gone back to a Powerbook 180
and was able to do word processing well!!!! Someone who went Rip Van
Winkle after the Mac Quadra or LCII and woke up today to the latest
Mac would understand it all. That's its appeal to many of us.

..anyone remember the happy days when Mac OS finally reached PPC
code throughout, the end of the line for 68k systems? That was 8.6...
