   What is really amusing is that Apple started the Mac with the 32-bit   
   Motorola 68000 processor...   
      
   ...then transitioned to the M68030...   
      
   ...while maintaining backwards compatibility...   
      
   ...then transition to the PowerPC architecture...   
      
   ...while maintaining backwards compatibility...   
      
   ...then the Intel x86 architecture...   
      
   ...while maintaining backwards compatibility...   
      
   ...and finally (currently) to the Apple Silicon architecture...   
      
   ...while maintaining backwards compatibility.
