Hi all,

I second what John Fowler say in a way.

What I fear is that Apple goes 'one step too far'. For me, it is not only a matter of Intel but ...

how many line of 68K code was in the last Mac OS for PPC ?
how hard was the 68K to PPC transition ?
how hard was the PPC go G3, G4, G5 transition ?

so now the question is:

are the software sales worth the development cost for the transition from Mac OS X for PowerPC processors to the Pentium IV / Intel processors ?

Do you remember Borland talks when Apple introduce the PowerPC (yeah, back in the early 90s) ? An we do not saw a single application from Borland.

So people (sorry, companies) who said "We will be there" can change their mind. Actually, I do not care about QuarkXPress, PhotoShop, Illustrator, PageMaker (dead ?), InDesign (still there ?) and all of those very expensive software. Bu I am not the Apple Macintosh Computing market. Here the problem lies.

Well, we have at least a year to date to wait and we will know.

Back to AppleScript, and wait for some bug squash in the (future) 10.4.2, maybe.

Cheers,

Emile
