why? intel macs have been around for 7 years. software that is still
powerpc has not been updated in at least that long. 

if whatever the software did was needed by many people, it would have
been updated or a competitor would have made their own version.

or, there's a windows equivalent, which can be run in vmware or
parallels.

there's no money in making a powerpc emulator and it's not at all
simple anyway. 

what are these irreplaceable apps? there's probably a replacement.
