: He's not referring to software that has been modified to run natively on a
: Power Mac. He's referring to software that takes advantage of the speed
: increases available by the PPC processors which were not possible on the
: 68K processors.
: For example - A CAD program that was unable to run on 68K processors
: because it was to slow, but now is available because of the PPC processor.
