The RAM call model died with the 68000 language in which it
was expressed.  One can say that was inevitable since PPC
is, in itself, great.  Or one can call it ritual suicide on
the altar of progress because while using a CPU language
maintaining compatibility, the Intel family has outstripped
PPC.  (Probable conclusion: 680?0 would have been neck end
neck with Pentium III and Macs still many times faster than
Win because of the ROM.  Alas.

I am very much in a peasoup fog as to what is the current FB
strategy or even Apple strategy, say with respect to
emerging libraries. Can anyone clarify?

FB could have handled the "generalized ROM" scheme that went
under a name like "universal headers".  But that's dead?

Ignorant and perplexed I remain...
