After taking a bit of a pause from the PearPC/Centris business until the pearpc 'bug' that's preventing booting going ahead, I took a look around the place to see how far the story had spread. It's kind of staggering!.
starting with a google search (http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=panther+centris&btnG=Search&meta=), I found a few mentions I'd known about - here, on slashdot, macnn etc... but then looked further and found the article had been translated into german (http://www.allesapple.at/community/ausallerwelt), had reached Japan (http://slashdot.jp/mac/04/10/29/112242.shtml?topic=42), and was also mentioned in various news stories in finland, sweden, the netherlands, polish and somewhere in arabic.
No wonder there were so many thousands of hits on Appletalk :).
Considering how long I've been online, it's a wonder I'm still amazed at how the 'net works, at how information spreads when there's something everyone can have a common laugh at - and considering this is only a Mac thing, where we're a pretty small sized world group as groups go.
