But I'm not that happy with Apple support. They have obsoleted lots of equipment in X by not supporting localtalk. They are going to start selling machines that won't run anything but X, which is unfriendly to power users and is only a business tactic, not something that frees the designers, as far as I can tell. They sold the original X versions then sold it again with Jaguar (though they gave them to teachers, thank you very much...I appreciate that one.) Even if Jaguar is a major upgrade it doesn't appear so to a consumer, unless you admit that pre Jaguar was beta that you paid for. As it stands, I spend a lot of time switching between X and 9 (not Classic) because tools or hardware I need work in one and not the other. This is a pain. I support Apples move to Unix and understand what a monumental problem that is. I'm not sure they could do it any differently, with a few exceptions. Apple needs to stay in business. But this is expensive and inconvenient for a consumer who can't spend a lot of time and money on upgrades. Ok, sorry, just my two cents. Rich -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
