That is untrue. Mac OS is not included with Mac OS X, but it runs on all currently available Macintoshes, and is available for separate purchase. Plus, if you already have Mac OS -- chances are you do, if you rely on "Classic" apps now -- you can just use that. I think Mac OS is still included with some Macs, too (just not the separate retail version of Mac OS X v10.2). >>(2) If so, will there be any easy way to run classic Mac applications on the >>OSX machine? > >I think so. At least, I hope so. The Classic environment is not going away any time soon; you just won't be able to boot separately into Mac OS, on new machines. >>(3) If yes, how will it work? > >Details are sketchy... I am not sure what is sketchy. Mac OS is not any longer included with Mac OS X. You can get Mac OS separately. You won't be able to boot into Mac OS on new machines. You will be able to run Classic on new machines, if you also have/purchase Mac OS separately. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
