True. Keep in mind that the "shipping version" of Revolution is 1.1.1,
which is a year old, and based on the 2.4.1 MetaCard engine. There have
been a couple of significant upgrades to MetaCard since then (2.4.2 and
2.4.3), along with the 2.5 betas. Rev 2.0 will be based on the latest MC
engine (2.5) which brings the solid Jaguar support that MC users have
been enjoying since it came out with 2.4.3 and it's Mach-O format.
