Eric, how long until you have a good bead on Q3 numbers?

Matt, emulating the 68K floating point via the PowerPC is probably worst cast for the G3, since all 68K floating point is 80 bit precision, whereas double precision PowerPC is 64 bit, and single precision is 32 bit. With regards to the G4, I said it was supposed to be shipping late 1998, not early 1998, in systems... hit first silicon in early 1998 (after the G3 was shipping in production systems in fall 97). Someone here earlier I believe mentioned that the original codename for the G4 at Apple was PowerPC '98 or something to that effect. Motorola has just been two years late getting it to market.
