- Sorry. Didn't mean to start a false rumor. A friend told this to me

- 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

- the job out to somebody else they certainly wouldn't have the
- resources to take on such a project.
