Its only about OS as far as what will run *well* on our computers. Obviously some of the LEMs won't run X (or a variation, thereof) - and shouldn't even try. That said, we're all tinkerers at heart, so when Apple said we couldn't run X - we had to try. Of course it won't run on some of the "Lower" LEMs. And even when it will, it may not be the best choice. We've seen that on the 6 vs 7 vs 8 debate. AFAICS, it is the OS version of "case (and other) mods"a l� applefritter. If it isn't your cup of tea, so be it. If it is, let us know how it is coming. But the choice is not, and should not, be mandatory. Nor should we get all emotional if we disagree. As nanny, I do not think the discussion - not debate or argument - should be forced onto the OSX List, where the listers *want* to use X. So as long as we don't get all huffy, let the discussion continue. Flames, of course, will draw timeouts. ;-) Paul -- Real people making a real difference; not just here, not just today but everywhere, every day. <http://www.HeroicStories.com> -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
