- While I hate to admit that I have System 6 still running on one of my Macs
- System 7 CAN be a disadvantahge for some people indeed. I shelled out
- a hefty amount of money to a European company for a client of mine to
- automatically receive news data from my system we did not realize that the
- s/ware was made only to be run under System 6. The company (seller)
- is currently busy infighting so no one can develop a new solution/upgrade.
-
- So, I have a II fx here and a II si in Pakistan basically sitting running
- System 6.0.7 for the pelasure of the comms package :-(
