My first Mac was/is a Wallstreet G3. I was given it by a Mac friend (I've always worked on Intel - DOS/OS2/Windows/*nix). When she first sent it it came with OS8. Then she sent OS9. Because I needed OSX support she sent her old Panther disks, but Panther didn't want to know about the machine (except with a tool called XPostoFacto which loaded Panther but the monitor was screwed up). So she finally sent me her old Jaguar disks. That suited me fine as I have clients on Jaguar and the G3 supports Jaguar just fine. I'll be buying my first desktop Mac this year - but have to settle for emulation for Panther right now. That isn't so bad for testing compiled products, but not good for developing on. The G3 runs the Rev demo beautifully (I have a Windows license for Rev) so I'll probably be looking at Rev for OSX later on as well. To get true platform support you really do need to compile on the intended platform I have found. Scott -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
