So, going through my email backlog, I came across this thread (yes my backlog really stretches over a year back), and just thought I'd chime in in case it's still relevant: My 10.6 machine would've been one of those data points contributing to the quoted statistic, until it suffered a hard drive failure this year... so, when I had last attempted to write more of this email, I had gone back to an even older 10.5 machine until I got my 10.6 one fixed, and I hadn't even really bothered with package management on it or anything, since I intended for it to only be temporary... which luckily it was! I did actually get my 10.6 machine fixed and am now sending this email from it. Eric Gallager
