have you heard of "classic mode"? it's specifically designed to run the older software, hence, this isn't really a problem, nice try (wait, i think i smell something, could it be a microsoft troll? i wonder who put him up to it, could it be S-A-T-A-N).
re: why os x, gee, probably because linux and other versions of *nix are becoming popular, the machines are powerful enough to run it, and it opens up a world of shareware, freeware, and worst of all open source which is a wooden stake through the heart of microsoft (and which they've been trying to destroy for years, because it is a threat to their empire, if you doubt it i can point you to the "halloween" letter, an internal memo that even suggest how they can try to kill open source!). failing to setup the os to burn multisession cd's is most likely an attempt to make it more simple for users, who can now get cd r/w media cheap so it doesn't matter, and because it's a freebie with the os. if you really want to burn cd's or dvd's most people realize that toast is the way to go. toast adds allot more than just multi session cd's, building all that toast has to offer into the os would be nice, but obviously also a major project, and after all they did just finish jaguar which has used considerable resources. although if someone is using x i'm sure there are open source solutions available that are even better than toast. i really hate to accuse people of things, but honestly, your questions have a definite anti-mac bias, and it's just the type of thing microsponge has done before. actually they've done allot worse before. i really hope you're not a microsoft shill, or you are destined to rot in digital hell surrounded by windows machines with blue screens......

He warned of it's threat to the U.S. But to the people at FBI headquarters, O'Neill was too much of a maverick, and they stopped listening to him. He left the FBI in the summer of 2001 and took a new job as head of security at the World Trade Center." <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/knew/>. Why did 911 happen? Politics, in the broad sense and at the FBI, that's what makes it a tragedy in the truest sense. O'Neil's body was found in the stairwell of what had been the south tower. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
