> I've been consistently amazed that my Mac has updated from version to version perfectly, even 32-to-64. Windows has been a disaster every time. Don't forget the whole PowerPC -> Intel thing too. I started on Mac OS X 10.2 on a G3 iBook, made my way up to a PowerBook, then an Intel MacBook Pro follwed by another Intel MacBook Pro. There were a handful of programs that didn't get updated to support Intel along the way, but the only one that I actually miss is Quicken. I wish Apple hadn't dropped Rosetta, but I suspect that they needed to in order to force software makers to move forward. Intuit didn't, and a few other companies opted to force a paid upgrade to get a version that works on Intel. By and large, my programs and data have survived being migrated through four computers, seven major OS versions, a major architecture change, and the move from a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS. That's pretty cool. I'm still looking for a Quicken-like program that works for me, but I have a feeling I'll end up either making my own or using Excel.
