ISTR IBM even offered them a machine at the time, but they didn't want
it.
Yeah, I offered to buy them a machine too, but they just don't want to
maintain a ppc64 backend (or apparently not a non-Rhapsody one). In
any case I'm fine maintaining this.
On the subject, what is a good cheap ppc64 machine to buy these days?
A second hand G5?
