Yes absolutely right. As long as you stay in MacOS 9x, Windows 98, then
PressReady is an excellent rip for the price. Mine runs perfectly well on
MacOs9.2.2. I haven't tried it in classic though. The advantage of a
slightly more expensive rip is that it is still supported, will be ported to
X and has much better color control if needed for proofing.
