Good... Now we just wait until their next big announcement. You know, like the 3rd generation iPod Touch and the tablet they are planning.

Actually, all OS users can use it.
It's just for Intel (Fucking Obsoleteness)

If you bought a Mac with Leopard after a specific date it's $10, or something like that.

Better than M$'s $100 for XP and certainly better than the $200 for the most basic version of Vista. I mean really... REALLY? Im wondering how, mostly.

3rd G Touch with no OLED? ... Isnt that the backlight though? That would be a bit much to remove in place of a camera...

Its "HD" but cant actually play HD without a monitor and a hookup station. Sounds like a cheap way to get cash. Plus there are no Apps. That monolithic monstrosity also hurts my eyes. M$ should have realized by now that people dont like media players that can double as a paper-cutter if you turn it on its edge. Subsurfed goodness for life!

There is a specific application called "Classic". Originlal naming, I know. But I think if you had a copy of the OS (you know, an install disk) you could use one of those virtual os things. Parallels, VMware, and others. Most people use them for windows, but if I understood correctly you can run most other operating systems as well.
Also, some games have a "carbon" version. Like Diablo and Starcraft. They were for the lower OS until OSX came out, and Blizzard patched them up quite nicely. I still miss the SCEditor though, as it was not included with the patch for OSX. Its probably why I dont play SC much anymore... Will totally do that when SC2 comes out though, assuming I have a new computer by then. And Diablo 3. That game is looking so awesome right now...

we need a drool smiley.. :drooooooooool:
