Think about it.


Very different situation, there.

OS X is a complete rewrite, with totally new foundations.

Most System 7 apps work in 8 or 9 regardless; or have been updated to do so. Etc.

Not so for OS X.

I've rebooted five or six times in the last few days, back to OS9, to play Korea or UT or something similar.
