[MacDV] Re: The 20inch LCD Conspiracy

No offense, but either you don't get it, or aren't listening to what a lot of 
Mac faithful are saying. I don't expect Apple to sit on the fence. I don't 
mind, and actually support them advancing, and moving on to OSX and all the 
iApps. This is all good.

What I DON"T like are the ways in which they are penalizing those of us who 
choose to not move to OSX at this time. I for one, cannot afford to buy a 
whole new system, with new peripherals and software. There is no reason they 
can't sell a version of iDVD for $100 that will let me burn DVD's on my 8600 
in OS9.

There is no reason they can't have a very small team doing some support. 
Don't you think they could SELL some of the iApps, if they made them for OS9? 
I think they could. Shoot, they have a whole team working on OSX on Intel 
machines, that obviously isn't making them any money. We all know that OSX is 
the future, but some of us can't afford to go yet, and don't like being 
treated badly, just because we can't. Not every Mac owner is in a high paying 
career.
