I don't want to start a new crazy thread. But after 3 years, isn't
it time then to stop supporting PPC ? Perhaps 4 years. After that,
4 year old computers are to old, and mostly relics. You should
consider a lifetime of a computer ca 36 months, but no more than 48
months.

What are you talking about ? For example, the last Apple IIe
computer was made in late 1993, that is not bad support.
Of course Apple will discontinue PowerPC in the future, when it
makes no sense supporting them anymore, like PPC 603 and the
like. Remember, Apple is asking for UNIVERSAL BINARIES, NOT also
Intel binaries. All apps will be Universal in the future, it
doesnt add much overhead.
Trausti,
wait a little bit - two or three years - and come back; my
sentences will probably be true by then. :(
Cheers,
Emile
PS: no thread required; this is just a way to open the eyes to the
people who are still in the PPC business. That business started to
decline (less sales) when the MacIntel Macintosh comes. This is a
math fact: less new machines = less installed base; more and more
less machines in the installed base = less and less hardware and
software support (Do you remember the More is more and less is less
Apple advertising ?).
