Well, the main reason I switched to PM from Entourage was, aside from its database integrity, that I can share the same database between OSX and OS9. I keep mail database on my FW drive. I used to keep it on my Linux server and PM was reading it via network, but it doesn't work anymore after OSX10.2.4 or so. PM database keeps corrupting if I do this. Too bad since I loved being able to read mail via Airport regardless of the machine I was on. My setup won't allow me to go 100% OSX. Here is an expensive piece of equipment which is the hart of my studio, MOTU Digital Time Piece. It's a serial device which does not allow USB-Serial adaptor, and which provide various format of digital clock source to my studio equipment. There is no other machine can do what this machine can do. The creator no longer works for the vendor so there is no chance of upgrade to OSX compatibility. Meanwhile, all of my studio equipment and recording gear are OSX compatible, and I have been loving using OSX since Preview-3. So, in my scenario, I use OSX to do recording session while receiving mails to PM on the OS9 machine, and use OS9 machine to do mixing session while receiving mails to PM on the OSX machine. By the way Scott, Are you not having problems with PM4.2 dropping Japanese support? I wonder where is Jérôme. I really want to know what happened to Japanese resources. This was another reason helped my decision of switching to PM since Microsoft products are not true OSX compatible regarding Unicode. -- - Hiro [PROTECTED] <[PROTECTED]>
