Why ? Did you specifically pay for it, or where does this demanding position come from ?
(I got a QS 867, so bear with me .. yet I am happy the new oS runs on my 3 year old box, you know)
i was definitely looking forward to it. and i was bummed i can not initiate a multi person video chat. i have a 1.5ghz powerbook that’s less than a year old. it’s not like i’m complaining because i can’t run it in a dinosaur mac.
