I think we all saw the point. He felt our "aged" G3 systems were beneath
him.

The apology came off as forced and insincere.

'Tis your right to do so.

Perhaps, but that was not what the original post was about. Kathi wasn't
even asking if her present G3 would work well with OS X. She had obviously
done some listening and some research on that subject already, as she stated
in her message that she'd heard it X would not be faster than 9.2.2 (which
is actually true, as so far X has proved to be somewhat slower in many
tasks).

Actually, it sounded as though that were exactly what Tim was stating.


"Also, considering the sheer power of the MODERN Macs, I can't imagine
what type of "graphic arts" you do on that little G3 233."

There are still people out there using much slower systems. The school I
worked at used Color Classics in a student lab up until the time I left. I
also worked with a Graphic artist who just recently replaced her aged 7100
with a G4.
