Yes. There's a copy of Jaguar sitting on my desk but I am not going to touch it until I know that the stuff I need to run will work cleanly with it. What on earth were they *thinking*?
If this is the way Apple are going, I'm strongly tempted to boot back into Linux/PPC, install the latest version of MOL, and keep OS/X strictly for eye candy and occasional backward compatability. At least Linux seems to be stable and maintains binary compatability on the same platform ... > As for the rest of this thread, just to get back, err, offtopic -- BBEdit > has a great reputation but 99% of the time Vim is all I ever want or need, > and it helps that I can use it on any platform, graphically or in text > mode. That and it doesn't frighten me the way Emacs does :). I have fond memories of Pete Keleher's Alpha, and if there's ever a carbonized release I'd be highly interested in playing with it. It seemed to combine most of the cool functionality of emacs with a properly thought- out Mac GUI that wasn't as annoying as BBEdit's (back in the old days -- I've never used a version of BBEdit more recent than 3.0 or thereabouts). I gather the Alpha/Tk version is under active development, but then, a properly carbonized version of Tcl/Tk is also needed ... anyone got any insights into the state of Alpha/Tk on OS/X? -- Charlie
