Well, many of my clients do NOT. So, I would be a bad person to put 
something on there and then have them not be able to run other 
applications without having problems.

I enjoy both instant gratification and I also run LC III's to do things 
like take in faxes. I also own several other PCI, G3, and laptop Macs, 
including G4's and servers.......to name a few.....I have never gotten 
'rid' of a Mac, every one I've owned is still in use either by me or 
someone else that I have GENEROUSLY donated it to, some who are on this 
very list. :-)

I am trying to get my users to be more self-sufficient and having them 
ask me if they need to buy X is getting old. Most of my frantic callers 
have had some do-gooder slap X on their machine and leave them unable to 
print or surf because they did not finish the job.
I had one user call me late last night crying because she was told she 
needed X to run her Palm-Pilot (not!) and let some numbskull install it 
on her perfectly good laptop. Some people are just not repsponsible and 
don't you agree, should not be shoving stuff into folks' machines unless 
they plan to follow through with it?
