A pox on both. The "improvements" in both Mac and Windows have been a severe impediment to producing updates to DigiTrad--we've been totally wrapped up n trying to make these "superior" systems stop crashing with pre-existing programs.Wouldn't be so bad if the new versions worked better than the old ones, but they don't seem to. Who dreamed up the bizarre notion that a user should be aware of--or even learn to "use"--an operating system? If anything calls fo transparency and stability, it's an operating system. Linux/Unix seems promising, but trying to provide distributable databases and software written in a Unix environment that will also run under all flavors of Windows and OSs seems like a futile dream.
I'm quite familiar with DOS limitations; only wish that they could have been overcome without the bloated training-wheels approach that seems to have become the wave of the present. Grump!
