1. A bit short of money right now.
2. For reasons that have been confirmed in the Use-List since RR 3 was released: the very same reason why I
bought a Mac G4 two weeks after they released the G5s.
Microsoft and Apple have been slammed time and time again for releasing software (operating systems or
other) which still looks Beta-ish. There is a school of thought that Mac OS X is still a bit tatty round the
edges (v.g. the inconsistencies that abound in the behaviour of the Finder).
Probably why quite a lot of people with PPC Macs feel cheesed-off about being excluded from 10.6.
There are folk who will claim that firms release Beta-ish software to raise money to continue work; this has
always struck me as a bit disingenuous.
Hundreds of people who bought themselves PCs with "Vista" installed are returning to XP because the view is
a bit foggy.
I am now popping pennies (quite literally) in a jam jar with "3.x" written on it.
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
