Well, OS X uses the "same" specs (128 Mb RAM, 1.5 Gb space, per Apple's
site) - but at least there's no activation, or "tie in" *cough* to other
Apple 'services' (yes, I know about iTools, but that's not quite the same.
You can completely ignore it if you want to, and not lose anything.)
I have to wonder how long that's going to last. At least it's not a
'subscription' service like they were trying to push with Office XP (and I
*think* actually use in some countries.)
Looks like I"m looking for WIn2k on the PC side... still new-Mac shopping
while I'm playing with the IIsi and Quadra. Fortunately, the software I
*like* is multiplatform anyway (Eudora, for instance.)
