I always feel selfish when I put my two cents in on these matters, because I
know someone has real needs that require the old stuff (my brother runs a
gene chip producing machine from a IIsi, so I can understand that people
have legacy equipment and applications), but I am in favor of pushing ahead.

I live out of OSX for most of the day (I do have a second machine dedicated
as a software router, a scanning station, and to use Propellerhead Reason :)
, but even that Mac is running OS 9.

If it means Jack can accomplish more of what he wants to do, I'm in favor of
untying his hands.
