Currently, Apple has said there will be no Classic in the Intel version of OS X. They have not made it as clear if it will also be removed from the PPC version (the next version, will be dual as the PPC is expected to be sold thru at the end of 2007). No Classic means no Emailer. HOWEVER, this does no prevent someone else from writing something similar to a Classic system. There are already Mac emulators for Windows, so there is a REALLY good chance one of them will be ported for Intel-OS X. If one is, then you could just run Emailer under that. >I'm getting a bit nervous as January draws nearer when it's said Apple >will make the processor change. They aren't going to come to your house and remove your processor forcing you to the Intel. Emailer will continue to run on your computer at least up thru you upgrading to a new version of OS X, and that assumes the next version of OS X will not have Classic (I will not be surprised if it is removed as it is a good excuse for Apple to finally and fully drop support for it). Also, I do not believe January is the date, it is June. Apple said the first Intel machines will be out mid 2006. I'd also make a strong guess that the first machines will be laptops. The Powerbook/iBook line has not seen a serious upgrade in a while, and that is mostly due to the fact that the G5 is not energy efficient enough to make a decent laptop with it. Intel on the other hand has some blazingly fast, super low energy processors out there specifically geared towards the portable market. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
