Why should it have been the end of the road for Classic? That's only  
your opinion. As I understand it, Classic and the end of support for  
PPC are not linked in any way.

Classic, as I understand it, relates to OS9

PPC, as I understand it relates to hardware (PPC -> Intel)

There is no direct correlation between them other than one you want to  
make up.
