Crashy is already heavily using Grand Central Dispatch and Blocks (which are both 10.6 only). However, even more important than this, is actually getting people to write the app. And to do that, you have to attract developers and nothing does that better than the chance to play with shiny new APIs. Well, truckloads of money would work as well, but we don't have that. -gus -- August 'Gus' Mueller Flying Meat Inc. http://flyingmeat.com/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
