Hate to say it.. but Windozer probably has all of these apps too, and 
maybe even better ones.

While microsoft is nasty there is a lot of support out there for it from 
the community.

Mac users tend to be snobs brainwashed into thinking that apple has set 
them free, haha

Free like communism, not free beer !!

So really the question is: If no OSX then why YDL/PPC?

know I'm fooling around with YDL on an old PM 7200, so I imagine it's
only a

matter of time before I'm asked to demonstrate YDL at a club meeting.


I'm sure I'd be asked...why mess around with YDL, since OS X is now
BSD-based?

I've got one answer:  runs on several pre-G3 machines...but what else
could I

offer?  Why would anyone use YDL, for example, on an iMac, since OS X
is

available?
