Can you convince the rest of us? Does OS/X render all the earlier Macs
obsolete? Why would somebody need a G5?
I *do not* use MacOS classic. I find it terribly annoying. I have
earlier Macs, but I run NetBSD on them. They do it rather well. I *like*
OSX, though. Works well. Never had trouble with it. Does everything I
expect of it the way I expect of it, with a couple of minor exceptions
(like case insensitivity -- but that's more of a filesystem issue).
But you could use OSX with a G3 just as easily. With the G5, it's not a
question of *need*. It's a question of *want*.
