The 68k's and PPC's are entirely-- radically-- different processors, although you wouldn't know that just by looking at the surface of things. The 68k emulator in the Power Macs made the transition nearly seamless. You could say the 68k's had their own series of generations: 68000, 68030, and 68040 (I think the '010 and '020 were skipped over). Apple started over with the PPC/Power Macs, so the generations started over as well. -- http://www.zirconia3.com "If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground first?" --Bill Hicks(1961-94) -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
