I used to like OS X, but got tired of the change in policy from "free updates" to "gimme gimme gimme".

I'm calling you on it. How many upgrades have you had to pay for with OS X? Stop whining.

I have 3 Macs, including 2 Powerbooks and a G4 1.25 dualie. I also have a Dell Latitude, a Linux server, and a hand built W2K screamer I use as a test server for work. In addition, I have an AS/400 I use for testing. MSDN costs me $900/year so I can maintain my test environment.

If you can't afford the few bucks it takes to stay current, then get your Abacus back out, shut off your 2400 baud dial up line and go back to paying the post office to send your mail.

Good Lord, what a lot of hostility. Did I offend your God or something? Just expressing an opinion.

I've been an Apple developer since 1989, and a user since 1984. Not particularly impressed with Apple's latest toolsets. (Very, very, primitive environment.) But as you don't appear interested in a rational discussion, I'll let you have the last word.

People paid to move from 9 to OS X, now they have to pay to get Panther.
