	Freudian slip? ---> "It is way ahead of anything Windows turned
out in terms of looks. However, it is slow, even on a
G4, it just isn't speedy." ;-)

	Yeah, and PearPC is brand new too. Plus they are doing something that 
wasn't even thought possible (getting a RISC PPC to be emulated on a 
x86). Considering how hard of time Bochs has emulating an x86-on-x86, 
it's quite amazing. :-)

	On top of that, of course, PearPC - afaik - doesn't emulate AltiVec, 
so you get a big performance hit there too.

	Sounds like me... my other Apple (beside the PowerMac and iMac) is an 
old PowerBook 140 (20 Mhz, I think) that I bought at a flea market a 
few years back. It still works and it only cost me $30.

	Yup!
