I'm betting most *developers* who ran OS 9 have moved to OS X.  If they
haven't, I'm happy to be part of the pressure for them to upgrade.  OS X
rules.  :-)

Just wish the laptops had a "delete" key (not just "backspace") and had
PgUp/PgDn without needing to Fn to get them.  With the new 17" laptops
they've got some huge real estate to play with.  Why stick with the same
crappy, cramped keyboard layout as the 12" model?
