Folks, Some years ago I bought a SparcServer 20 off eBay to have a machine that would run Self at full speed, and then later I rejoyced that the Power version of the VM got updated and so my PowerBooks could be speedy Self platforms---so much more convenient than hauling the SS20 around! But now Mr Jobs has made it so that I can't buy a new Power laptop when the time comes to next upgrade. Might not be able to buy a (consumer) Power desktop soon, either.

So, two questions: does anyone know how well the Power version of Self runs on an Intel Mac, and would there be any point returning to the second-hand market at some future time to buy a small RS6000 and trying to host Self on that?
