Not great. I bought it a few years ago, and found it crashed as if there were too much to check for, I have a MDD G4 with 4 drives. I let it do its thing on one drive at a time, and it worked fine, but that sort of defeated the purpose. Too bad, it had potential. On Aug 25, 10:19 pm, "ah...clem"

Apple has not, AFAIK, but the writing has been on the wall for the PPC architecture since the release of Snow Leopard a little over a year ago. So keep your fingers crossed, but it's a question of time -- months, I'd wager. Felix On Aug 25, 9:27 pm, M Christol wrote: >   Has Apple said anything
