Re: [PLUG] R32 ate own hard drive -- recommendations for new purchase?

[John Von Essen <john@essenz.com>]

I love macs, but... I was weary of intel mac books as I heard they were 
a little buggy when they first came out. The next gen models probably 
ironed out the hardware bugs, and the software side might be better with 
time too.

My biggest concern is if they run old classic OS 9 apps like Photoshop 
(built in the RISC days). Not just run them, but run them stable. Not 
quite ready to buy a new version of photoshop. Plan to rock version 5 
forever!
