And not likely to either, until you guys calm down! <g> And call off the goon squad. Besides, I was just being "Ironic," which I gather is all the rage with the young folk these days - leave it to us old coots to get the inflection wrong, I suppose. In any case, here's been my experience. I've had a G4 for nearly three years now, burning images to CDs using Apple's Disk Burner, OS9 and the internal CD drive, and having zero problems with clients running either Macs or Windows. Lately, two clients have had problems, being unable to access all the files on CDs I have sent them. Turns out they are running OSX, and they were able to see and open some of the files, but not able to even see the balance. The one client I've talked to most recently said they solved the problem by going back and accessing the CD in Classic. Perhaps what they did mean was booting in OS9. In either case, I think this points the way to the solution, which I leave to those more knowledgeable in the inner darknesses of OSX. While trying to figure out what the problem was, I tried the CDs in my old office 7500 (OS 8.5) and also in my XP laptop, neither of which had any problems seeing all of the files. The client also mentioned they were able to access all of the files on their Windows machine, but since it was not always connected to their network, this wasn't a good solution. Sorry, just reporting the news from here in South Elgin, don't shoot the messenger. So yes, to me, this seems like a major flub on Apple's part. If I buy a new G5, which will not boot into 9, will I be unable to access all the images I have been archiving for the past three years? And if painting MS in a better light than Apple is verboten, what is one to make of... > When you see the silky smooth rendition of the user interface in OS X 1.3, you will be gob smacked. > A very far cry from, uhum, the DOS interface.
