True, but since 90% of what we do is driven by the engine, that seems 
like a good place to start.

Kevin's comment was very helpful (thank you Kevin!):

    We haven't as yet tested every last feature, but
    certainly it runs under Rosetta.  Bear in mind
    that Apple originally announced shipping in the
    middle of this year, so we have a little catching
    up to do for full compatibility.  You won't have
    too long to wait though.

Based on the tasty tidbit at 
<http://wiredblogs.tripod.com/cultofmac/index.blog?entry_id=1385976>, I 
probably won't get a new Mac until the second revision arrives (I 
generally avoid the first series of any radically changed architecture 
anyway, but that brief article gives even more reason to wait).

In the meantime it's comforting to know that there are no glaring 
hitches with Rosetta, and that things are full steam ahead for universal 
binaries.
