ceagleI just found out that Mozilla 1.2.1 might be the last developed for system 9 Mac :<
*wings to face and shakes head*
I sure hope not.. Mozi is the only thing that works reliably with LiveJournal for me.. *peep* All the others I've tried crash on refreshes or occasional odd code in postings.
I know I know... 'go system X' (or something else). :P There's a few clients I know who use it, and I've seen the several months of agony they had getting it to work with their hardware and software, and I'm just dreading having to do that... yet, anyway.
I know I'll probably have to go X someday or just leave Mac altogether, because reading the trades is depressingly like 95% X development, even in shareware now :|
Sure, there's good things about it... but not enough to push me (and especially my wallet) into that melee quite yet...

*ulp!*
Seriously though... I know I'll get used to it, if I haveta. *scritches ya*
I haven't seen the 98% success rate.. maybe 70% when working in the field.. and a few things like ICQ were a total drag to migrate on other's systems ;P
I'm glad yer a 'aint broke dont fix' person too.. *hugs*... but apparently ya took the plunge into X at home before me... yeeeep!
I guess a major part of my point is, with win trying to be more like mac, and mac trying to be more like win... it seems like mac no longer has the edge on a lot of things, making it worthwhile to stay with it.. Well, except for this new music thing, but then that's just a matter of time if they want a real income market, at which time other platforms will be able to dl music legally thru them too. *chirrtle*
The only other advantage I can see that it still has is being near impervious to viruses, but still, that primarily applies to pre-system X.. 8|
I do like the idea of the Safari browser too, but I haven't tested it yet. I guess I just like a company to be of the mind not to throw their customers away. Hey, if I wanna keep running my older machines, it doesn't mean I'm not buying newer machines and using them too! *arf!* Can't they keep some older-OS and hardware knowledgeable people around? It's not like they have expired, is it? *arf!*
*scritches you* Thanks for the commentations and postulations, jellicle fellow!
