*shrug* The -ONLY- reason I came back to Macintosh is because of OS X. Old MacOS was just that - OLD. Not technologically very different from System 6.x, which is the first System version I developed on. Times have changed. There are more people without Macs than with Macs. So it makes sense to do things primarily to attract new users; existing Apple users are generally pretty loyal anyway, and have been since the days of the Apple II. -- Lewin A.R.W.
