Well, I have been considering upgrading my music setup to OSX especially since I just ordered a new G4 zif. Now I am stuck as my main application I wanted to port over currently has no upgrades available for sale. As in they ran out. Apparenttly the only way I can get Digidesign ProTools for OSX right now is to buy a device that comes with it. That stinks.
How do you run out of upgrade software? You stick on the site with e-commerce to pay for d/l and require info from precious version. So now I am left trying to scramble back to get OS9 wokring again on my new used machine Very frustrating -------------------- ----------------------------------------

yep... its reason like that and $$$ needed that I have been putting off going to OSX for music because things were working fine for me in OS9. My onoly problem now is my B/W G3 I just bought used doesn't want to boot to OS9 nor any cd with OS9 and only boots OSX only so I am kinda stuck on what to do. I feel like I am wasting my $$$ trying to be cheap and buying used machine and should just buy new one but I think most new ones come with 10.3 and I heard there is no OS9 boot with 10.3 so I would still be stuck.
Any word on driver updates for your interface Kaboom? Sometimes it just doesn't pay to upgrade and other times it is impossible to not upgrade due to new software requirements. Its just so hard to keep up with the hardware vs. software sometimes -------------------- ----------------------------------------
