Re: Support for IBM qs20 or qs21?

Hello dcarver,
I have no official knowledge, but my personal opinion is - - not in the near future. We are avoiding the Mac PPC for new projects because there are not enough members using it to justify the difficulty of supporting it. Last year or early this year we put out a query about the Sony PS3, but I have not heard anything more about it.

The problem is that it takes a lot of manpower to compile and support a project for each platform. We need to be very thrifty in deciding which platforms to support. It is probably much more productive to support many projects on a few platforms than to support a few projects on many platforms.
