- Well, since MAE only runs on 2 versions of Unix (Solaris 2.x on Suns and
- HP-UX on HP's) I would hardly say that "it runs on every version of Unix
- except the ones that run on the Intel architecture". Is Apple avoiding
- the Intel market? Maybe, but Apple has made so many unusual marketing
- decisions in the past, I wouldn't even try to guess. I would say that
- their statement on the MAE web page that MAE is "MacOS for UNIX" would
- be better phrased as "MacOS for 2 very specific versions of UNIX" ...
