Its even more than a laugh if you think about the fact having 5 users and
no e-mail server costs about as much as two brand new computers. : )

LinuxPPC and MKLinux have already gotten the Mach_kernal working. Its NOT
the USB thats holding them up. its the firmware, which is zero. The
firmware is loaded every time you boot. The imac doesn't have that, making
it one of the first macs that will run NT 5.

IF the game wasn't made under linux, its probably cheep! : ) 99% of games
were written for linux and then ported to the application since linux is
such a great OS. Most SNES and GENESIS games were written for linux first.
Quake I/II is available for linux. So are other good games...
Intel 8080 (Z80 is a clone of the 8080) ; )
