I didn't read all of your post, but most of it. You must have not heard all the news, but noone will be left behind. Those smaller time shareware developers can wait until Intel Boxes are on the market, because the Rosetta emulator is doing the work for them before they make their apps universal binaries. I mean, Rosetta ran MS Word and Adobe PS on and Intel box and PS seemed a bit slow but I mean come on, for the smaller time apps your talking about Rosettal will do the trick until they can get their hands on a new Intel comp.
