True, but that's also why you get the lost documents from applications that freeze with no chance of recovery and you get the BSOD staring you in the face several times per week. Let the Microsoft darlings continue with their backward compatibility with Windows 3.1 apps and all of the other PC crap that goes along with it. Those are the reasons why I left the PC platform back in November of 2001 and will remain a loyal Mac user until death. What Mr. 'Afterswift' fails to realize is that the phasing out of Mac OS's has been a thing that has been happening for years and is in no way new to the Mac. The Mac Classic ran 6.0.x and 7.0 but that was as high as it went. Try to run 6.0.x on a Quadra....no! You can't! Try to run 7.1 on a PPC 7200, no you can't and you sure can't run 8.6 on your G4 (at least the one I have). Macs progress hardware-wise and software-wise...this is a GOOD thing. I certainly see no reason to celebrate the fact that I can run a DOS app on a Pentium 4!
