What the hell standard is this?  So you are telling me that I can
get an RS/6000 and run MacOS on it?  The same machine runs NT?
So a PowerMac runs NT and AIX?  News to me.  Apple, IBM, and Motorola
couldn't even agree on what PReP should be, so why are you attacking Be?
You should attack the idiots who created the PowerPC for not being
able to agree on a standard for so long.

Be along with Apple, IBM, and Motorola have said they will support
CHRP now that the standard is supposedly finished.
