I run Mac F2k2 using OS 8.6 on a non-G3 Powerbook 3400 with 3GB HD space, SCSCI-connected to a Powerbook 1400 (acting as a SCSI drive) for a total of 6 GB. The external PB is full up and the main PB has <1MB available. Until I can upgrade my CPU I will "upgrade" to OS 9 ( since I can't run OS X) and run F2K4 as best I can.
I disagree with the subject line--there is no bad news at all. It would be like a doctor saying, "The good news is we got all the cancer; the bad news is there's a scar." To the patient it would be the most beautiful body marking of them all. MM has, by all appearances, done a good thing with the new Finale, and for it to be anything other than what it is would have made no business sense at all. Correction: no sense of any kind.
