Reply to Bill Chapman: I use several programs under Classic which have no equivalent under OS X. Mac OS X 10.4.7 (and all later versions of Tiger) won't automatically open files created under Classic in the application that created them. Instead it opens them with some other application, not of my choice. Worse yet, when OS X 10.4.7 (or later) is installed, without asking the user's permission it changes the Creator of _all_ such files (of which I have tens of thousands). The original Creator code can be restored for one file at a time with the Finder's Get Info... command, but the Change All... option is broken in 10.4.7 and later; it isn't feasible to restore the Creator manually for tens of thousands of files. I have found from experience that the latest version of Mac OS X that does not behave this way is OS X 10.4.6, so this is the version I continue to use. My Mac at work is required by our IT department to run the last version of Tiger, so I know first hand how inconvenient it would be for me to run 10.4.11 on my iMac G5 at home. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
