Actually, due to the contents of a number of your posts, I been thinking that you don't have OS X 10.1.5 installed on a machine you use on a daily basis and have made the decision not to like it because your fave applications haven't been ported. Perhaps not realizing that you can achieve much of the same productivity with other software now available for OS X. Frankly, I'm worried about your current attitude to OS X because I remarked your zest for technological exploration in days gone by and have befitted greatly by following items you referenced. A good example being the mention of XML years before the widespread acceptance it has today. Now I'm puzzled because I find a number of useful technologies that were previously outrageously expensive or awkwardly implemented on Macs now available and working very well with a stock install. Case in point being able to call shell scripts from AppleScript or vice versa and easy disk burning for data backups. I wonder why you don't see the benefit in this? I wonder why you wouldn't see the benefit of Finale being able to print to PDF directly? I wonder what your top 10 peeves with OS X are?
