Three weeks ago, I'd have questioned your sanity :^) However, the release
version of MacOS X isn't to bad. The amazing thing I noticed was at least
one app that wouldn't work right under 9.0 & Public Beta seems to work fine
under 9.1 & Release. Namely my old copy of eXodus v6.1.2. Having said
that after about three days of trying to get it to work I'm back to using
8.6 on my G4/450. Why, becuase the B********* dropped classic Appletalk
support so I can't mount the Appletalk shares on my OpenVMS server, and I
can't get it to mount the NFS exports on the OpenVMS server (it'll mount
them from a Solaris box, and the Solaris box will mount them from the
OpenVMS box). Yeah, I'm more than a little pissed at Apple, but you're
right it's pretty good. Though I also seriously prefer the Platinum
interface.
BTW, am I the *ONLY* person that *LIKES* CDE?
