Very weird!

Good after they get a G5 they will have to run a modern OS and put classic to rest. Basically the same people who are still running System 9 are the same kind of folks that are still running Windows98 on the other side.
Just so you know you do not set memory in Mac OS X, it's *nix and uses the same memory that all *nix machines use.
Jim it is just people hating to learn anything new. I just switched the NFL Alumni over to Mac OS X today. Once I sat down with them and showed that it wasn't that much different then Mac Classic they get really happy, but until then I had a room full of grown men crying like little babies having their toys taken away.
