Macintosh OS X10.7 (Lion) will be dropping support for PowerPC applications! http://www.9to5mac.com/53977/10-7-lion-drops-support-for-powerpc- applications or http://is.gd/rhzNmX So, if you are currently running any applications that require Rosetta, now is the time to start looking for updates or alternatives, and to start migrating your data to the new application(s) if you plan on updating to 10.7 this summer. Note that this means that AppleWorks and Eudora, two much-loved (but discontinued and unsupported) applications that many are clinging to, won't run in 10.7. ___________________________________________ Randy B.
