Huh? I know MANY Mac users for whom it was simple, a no brainer.
It was not a no brainer for me. OS X will not run my favorite Backgammon program, Backgammon, created on Thursday, December 6, 1984. That program has been with me since 6.0.4 on my Plus in 1988 through 9.2.2. : ) And I am sure if someone has a 128K Mac, it will run fine on that
Have you tried running it in Classic on OS X? I have seen original versions of MacWrite, MacDraw, MacPaint, etc. run in Panther's Classic environment.
Also, I am in the process of giving up my favorite word processor, WriteNow created on Wednesday, Feb 9, 1994. It works in classic but has had display issues ever since OS 9.
I want to be able to run my favorite application of ALL TIME on OS X. The application? Lotus Improv on NeXTSTEP. I also used WriteNow on the NeXT - very nice app. Never used it on a Mac tho...
This is NOT FAIR. They should force software developers to provide maintenance on their programs for 10 years like they do the automobile manufacturers.
It's called progress and has nothing to do with being "fair." Was the invention of the automobile fair to horse-drawn carriage owners? Was it fair to train operators when people started traveling in airplanes?
That being said, I have not booted into 9 since I switched to 10.2
Fun stuff. Seriously, I love OS X and would never go back.
