Well, you just snuck in that small detail, didn't you, that says so much to
me!
Surely BeOS not running on G3s must be a short-term situation? I am toying
with the idea of getting a Macintosh for CDP work, and a G3 seemed a
reasonable affordable choice (but not quite yet). I guess I will have to
settle for running it on my forthcoming PII machine. Sigh.

Perhass this explains why Apple seems to be plugging G3s above everything
else, these days?

BeOS runs on G3 processors (e.g., in Mac clones - which aren't manufactured
any more).  It doesn't run on Apple's G3 machines, because Apple refuses
to let Be have specifications for the support chips.
