I do. Old software on new hardware == amazing speed. New software on old hardware == coffee breaks/painting your nails while you watch the eye-candy slowly render, to do the same job. Back on the Mac, now it has BSD under the hood, I can run Unix software I learnt 25 years ago. Also, there're Mac emulators to run old Mac software on Unix, so even if Apple doesn't directly support it, old apps need never be retired. As long as you can sandbox old apps so they won't screw up the newer system, compatibility is good. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
