- Um, how exactly is this "competition for ARDI"? ARDI makes the only MAC
- emulator available for the Intel based IBM platform on the market. These
- people are just writing a method to allow the MacOS for the PowerPC chip
- to be run on a PowerPC system that is made by IBM. I suspect that this
- was much easier than what ARDI has done in totally recreating the MAC OS
- for another processor. :)

- IOW, these are two totally different products that you are comparing here.
