- Well, don't feel alone. QT won't run on my Mac IIcx 4/80; even with system
- 6 and NO extensions. Just dies. Hasn't _really_ bothered me yet, I just
- don't use QT stuff. But if you find a reason (or someone willing to pay
- $10,000 for these oddities), email me.
-
- Yes, QT _should_ run on any 20, 30, 40, system 6+.
