It sort of hurts to be saddled with a long-term love affair with a computer 
system, of great historic and intrinsic value, about which the current keepers 
choose to consider quaint...
That's a put-down, no matter HOW one looks at it.

I went thru the very same thing with AutoCad for the Mac.
AutoDesk eventually decided that having a Mac version was (what?) limiting or 
simply bothersome, an annoyance, and summarily dumped it.

They did the very same thing with GeneriCADD. A slightly cumbersome but 
otherwise capable and superb product, in it's own way. Into the rubbish; 
competition gone...
