- Sorry. Didn't mean to start a false rumor. A friend told this to me
- and I had not researched it. Your're probably right about it not
- being true that a x86 version of MAE exists. It is a good point that
- System 7.5 runs mostly in emulation mode on a PowerPC. Copland being
- pushed back further would certainly indicate that unless they farmed
- the job out to somebody else they certainly wouldn't have the
- resources to take on such a project.
