Unfortunately, Apple now seem to be trying to emulate M$ - talking
b*?ll!!ck@ and going for the $$$.

Although, I think the move to UNIX and open source is the best thing
Apple have done since the first Mac, but the final consequences are
going to be fairly long term.

I don't have an answer to your specifc problem but I am currently
running OS 10.2.8 on a 7600. It took some work and expenditure but
signifcantly less than a new Mac.

I've stayed with Apple for years because the backward compatibility has
been amazingly good compared with M$. I'm still successfully running
applications >10 years old in Classic.

My one big gripe is external DVD drives and their non-compatibility with
playing video DVDs.
