A very informative synopsis, and an interesting read. Thank you!

BTW, I'm amazed at how Apple (and who gets more love and hate in the  
same envelope than Apple?) has managed to maintain compatibility with  
old apps: my Farmer Clock was compiled (carbonish) in OS9, bloomed  
with liquid buttons in X, and runs just fine on an Intel. When Intel  
Classic appears in 10.5, presumably an old 68k app will come to life,  
squeeze itself through a series of interpreters, and run faster than  
it did in the old days. Won't it?
