[G4] apps issue...outta nowhere

[Eric Wood]

I mentioned it because I'm always bothered by purposeful misspelling  
- I hate to see literacy deteriorate, and I don't see the convenience  
of typing a "4" in place of "for," and so on. No one is so short on  
time that he or she needs to skip a couple of letters, and  
furthermore, letters are easier to type than numbers.. Unless you're  
the type who slowly pecks at the keyboard? Regardless, I won't say  
more about it since it's off-topic.

As far as the issue at hand goes: Bill, were you also using the  
software cwick mentioned? I hope I'm not buying Leopard just to have  
it be buggy and go unfixed by Apple as they continue to migrate to  
the monopoly desktop CPU-maker. I've heard there are bugs on the PPC  
which don't show up on Intel.
