YDL 2.2 was released about a month ago. It's much easier to install than Mandrake 8.2., which uses a problematic Apple Script. Really, I can do everything I want with it, Web, email, print, run a full-service, powerful office suite, scan, edit photos, burn CD's, watch DVD's ( if I had a DVD for my 7300, that is). What more would you want ? Except for the ability to run IE natively, OS X offers me nothing compelling for 100 or so odd dollars. It has an uphill battle because of its cost. Don't get me wrong though. I love my IIsi and will continue to use it with 7.1 for years, I hope. Quark and a *good* pdf distiller like Acrobat for Linux would be nice, but I can run those via Mac-on-Linux when needed. > With so many XP experts on this vintage mac list its no wonder microsoft > does so well.
