But wouldn't it be even more fun to have a 32-bit clean MultiFinder! :-) On 10/7/04 2:30 AM, "John Niven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Even assembly code isn't going to make a 68K work like a G5... That depends if you're using MS apps or not. Seriously, imagine if you will how fast the MacOS and OS X apps in general would run if they were coded in assembly. Forget the amount of work it would require and just concentrate on the speed. That's the appeal of System 6. > Better to concentrate on useful things more within the scope. I think all the suggestions of email clients, browsers and "connectivity stuff" are fine, but it would certainly be nice to see some improvements in the underlying OS. And really, one of the biggest things lacking in that area a 32-bit clean MultiFinder. But of course, this would only have a real impact on 030 machines like the SE/30; and as our developers have pointed out, it would take a lot of work -- probably more than a "for enjoyment" task would allow.
