Well I didn't even expect otherwise.. not that I see a problem with that - I 
mean do you really want to use the computer you buy after 2007 for running 
software from before 2004?

Why not keep the one you have now for that? :o)

All that is very true - but that still doesn't explain why you want a new 
computer for all this. Why would you want a computer that is one generation 
more powerful than a G5 for pre-OSX software? If you're that fond of the 
classic stuff, why not simply stick to your classic computer for that?

It all boils down to the question that baffles me every time a compatibility 
boundary comes up, and which has never been answered.. why do people want 
brandnew computers with ancient software?

1. No I know plenty of people still using Logic under OS 9.. I still use 
my old Cubase VST32 from time to time when I need to play with old 
material. I know people that still run their TDM rigs in OS 8 on still 
crawling beige PPCs because they dont want to break anything.
2. No. I still dont have a stable WORKING version of Sound Diver. I have 
to use a somewhat buggy alpha version of an editor for my Nord Modular.
3. No. I know how it works.. Which is why I keep it on a seperate blue 
and white G3 so I dont have to worry about any problems with a shelled 
version of OS 9..
4. Check out the Sound Diver beta.. Scary aint it? Recycle has turned my 
still perfect Emu ESI4000 into a standalone sampler once again.
5. Wrong again.. I had to pay for lotsa stuff to move to OS X. And take 
about a year before the move was complete and at a level where I could 
work comfortably.. And lets see, Ive also paid for every version since 
OS 10.0 came out in order to finally get to a near perfect working 
environment.. (Okay so I got the 10.1 disk for free at CompUSA) Now this 
whole Intel/Leopard thing is gonna throw it in a loop again hehe!

The (sorry had to) underneath that I thought pointed out I was making a 
joke?
