Lets start out by finding a bit about you? How did you get involved with PearPC? And can you give our readers a general overview of what PearPC is and how we can unearth the project and make it our own?
Oh , it started way back. I think I got involved with PearPC.net , when PearPC was its in early stages. First of let me explain about PearPC. PearPC is a PowerPC emulator for the x86 platform and for other platforms too (including Motorola 68k platform)
How much of a seed did Pear Have? Who invented the Pear Concept if there is a specific Founder? What is your official working title within the project, and how did you get involved?
PearPC was started by Seppel (http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/authors.html). I'm Just a Staff Member at PearPC.net and I'm an activist of PearPC and many other Open-Source Projects
Let's find out a little more about you... Who is the real Prasys the Great (as told in the Prophecy of the Pear)?
Its just me alone
Do you have a family that supports the projects you are involved in? (Yes/No)
A = you bet
What kinds of things do you do with your friends / on-line or off?
Well , I use the Force to tell them about themself and all their secerts. Even their Social Security Number too.
I can tell by your articulation that you are 100% nerd and 100% killer instinct at the same time. And you've got 100% of what it takes to drive Pear all the way to IPO. What are your thoughts on who might be in the future for an IPO underwriting?
How many PearPC users are in the market at present and what kinds of results do you think they are having? Is there a formal tech-support channel to be opened? And if so Who will do the tech-support?
I think they are around 1,000 PearPC users , at the moment. I'm not really sure about it. Yes , we do have a formal tech support channel , its located at irc.freenode.net
Is it possible to get a list of a couple other of your Public Relations people's aliases and contact persons for future interviews with other interested writers? There is sure to be a storm of publicity when the Pear Drops this New Year's Eve in Time Square.
I think the Lead Developer and The AltiVec Developer of PearPC , would love to be interviewed for his sucesss
What sort of interactions do you have with Apple? Are they for or against the developments associated with Pear, I've noticed an Apple-101 checking in from time to time. Does he help or hinder your progress?
Apple have helped PearPC community a long time ago. If I am not mistaken , they have helped the PearPC project a long time ago
Do you think Steve Jobs will support the PearPC project, or is he already supporting it, and will it make a difference if he does?
I guess he might be supporting PearPC. I heard rumors that Apple used a technology from PearPC , to allow emulation of PowerPC applications in MacTel
Apple is a hardware company. Their monitors have the nicest look and feel of any in the industry. What sort of position does it put Apple in if its control over the Intel Hardware market fumbles as a result of Pear's falling into position in the field?
To tell you the turth , PearPC does not affect Apple's sales or ideas in any ways
How much noise has Pear made in the industry up to this point, and how can it be echoed and delayed just right to make Pears fall from the skies? As an insider in the field I think you might have watched companies like Microsoft rise and fall and split and eventually give up the goat to Gentoo...:)
I think its better for you to Seppel , the Lead Developer of PearPC. As he can give a better explanation on this matter
What are your thoughts on the theme We are all made of Pears and how can we enlist Moby to remix his original to fit the times? For the stars, are in the seeds...
