I actually don't really know that much about OS X. The higher bus
speed of the new G4's , I would think, will help too. I have the
CD to install it but somehow don't want to bother with it yet. The
whole thing definitely goes beyond the simplicity of the Mac
operating system. I've played around with it at the store where it is
installed. It's kind of strange how a classic application all of
sudden opens in the OS 9 environment. It will take some time getting
used to; not to mention the long road of migrating Mac users to OS X.
I don't imagine many will be real eager. Some people still like to
use DOS. I'm waiting till they iron out some mor bugs.
