I do know you can download the very latest Apple Dev tools and target the G5 today from any Mac OS X machine. The code can be run on any machine too. No "waiting for months or years" is necessary. That was the phrase that I disagree with. This is what I'm talking about: <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2086.html> > -mtune=970 This tells the compiler to tune code as optimally as it can for the G5. This flag can be safely used by itself on code that may run on processors other than the G5, because code compatibility is not changed. > No FUD, nothing personal (or professional :). Just some plain facts.
