Quark isn't going to be any faster in OS X running in classic mode, though, is it? I find it amazing that it isn't OS X native. Could be they took so long to get it (Quark) out the door they decided to do that part later, though. I surely agree that Macs need a better operating system, but I also understand why people are slow to upgrade right now. I think my school (on my reccomendation) is going to reformat the new G4s we are getting this summer and run 9.2, at laest for a term or two, as I"m afraid of interaction with some of our existing applications, like Photoshop 6. I pretty much suggested holding off until we go to Photoshop 7, if we go to Photoshop 7. Some of these "We are doing an upgrade because we need the money" changes are getting very tiring! ;-)
