>Mac OS X is the future of Apple and the Mac OS. It's really that simple. I don't think that is the issue of this thread... It is the methodology that Apple used in instituting this. Had they just said, "hey, making systems that boot in OS9 is hindering what we can do with hardware, so we have to move forward to remain competitive." I think there would be a lot more understanding and this thread would be moot. A good idea that is poorly implemented is no longer a good idea... -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
