no detailed intro with the PC version, as there is with the Amiga version. I've always maintained (possibly by personal experience) that one of the natural future markets for OpenPOWER is one of the architecture's past markets: Power Mac users, particularly those who were irked by the Intel transition. Then its to the bar aboard the TCS Tigers Claw for a spot of chitchat with. I certainly was, even granting it made commercial sense at the time, and I ended up using a Power Mac G5 Quad for 13 years as a daily driver before I got the Raptor Talos II I use now. I first touched a Mac in 1987 (it was my buddy's father's Mac Plus, and we spent hours messing around in HyperCard and System 6), though the first Mac I personally owned was a second-hand Macintosh IIsi. I upgraded from there to (briefly) a used Power Mac 7200, then traded it in for a used Power Mac 7300, then pimped that out, then a Power Mac G4 MDD, the first computer I personally bought new, and then the G5. With the exception of the G5 all of these systems natively ran the classic Mac OS, so I had a large investment in classic Mac software. Even my G5 only ever ran Mac OS X Tiger so that I still could run Classic applications (on top of the fact I preferred Tiger's interface to Leopard).
