Apple's 10.3.9 is the last version that allows me to continue using my SE/30 as an HFS file server. I have moved most of my serious efforts to ubuntu Linux which has little trouble communicating with my SE/30 using Stairway's NetPresenz. My G4 runs VectorWorks and I need it but that's about all. I keep hoping that the open source guise will come up with a CAD program that works. And, of course the lady of the house has a brand new iPhone 4S and runs Lion on a portable and a desktop. The best I can do is a login account on each where I can use Terminal.app. Gestures prove to me nothing more than that all iOS boxes are female. I gave up understanding the proper motions long ago. I'm preparing this on an 8500 running OS 9. It works well and I understand it. That's more than I can say about Apple's mail.app that continues to send me messages which ignore all of RFC-2822. Count me as very much interested in your efforts. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
