Re: [B2-devel] TESyncScrap (Thoughts on SheepShaver and Basilisk II)

Wow, Frank, this is cool! I love being wrong this way.

(I feel like if I keep saying things that I hate about Apple, you'll
keep telling me I'm wrong :-)

I found some examples of people booting Lion in 32-bit mode:

  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3225388?start=0&tstart=0
  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3943837?start=0&tstart=0

So does that mean we can boot Lion in 32-bit mode and run 32-bit
SheepShaver and get a working copy and paste?

I hope so... then maybe I'll actually try out that copy of Lion I
bought last winter for $30. PICT files and SheepShaver cut/paste were
holding me back. (Also the lack of Save and Revert commands in the
standard suite, what were they thinking? Oops, I'm complaining again.
Please tell me I'm wrong.)
