Well, someone already said they just got one, in a separate reply. :-) I've heard it from others, too. But apart from that, I think we were answering different questions; I understood the question to be whether Mac OS will *run* on machines after the change, and you took it to mean *included with* the machines, it seems. So I apologize for the confusion in that regard. However, the summary stands, for those who are unclear: * Mac OS is no longer included with Mac OS X. * You can purchase Mac OS separately. * You won't be able to boot into Mac OS on new machines, starting next year. * You will be able to run Classic on those new machines, but only if you also already have Mac OS, or purchase Mac OS separately. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
