I wish they had talked a little about his work on the Amiga. He wrote a full color MacOS emluator that actually multi-tasked with the AmigaOS rather than taking over the whole machine. It actually ran Mac programs faster than the fastest Mac hardware of the day as well. Really impressive work on such low end hardware.
