I hate to think I still have months or a year to wait for real memory protection. I'm not so sure. They showed a build of Photoshop running on Rhapsody using Carbon APIs. It didn't do anything serious, but it also didn't crash. Supposedly it took only one guy two weeks to do the port. So it's quite possible that we'll see a bunch of apps ported to CR1 of Rhapsody when it comes out this Fall. It seems like they're promoting a two-level approach to a convergent OS (MacOS X). Fast developers can port now and run their apps on Rhapsody, which seems to be fairly easy to do. Slow ones can port gradually and have their apps ready for MacOS X. I don't see why serious developers would take the slow route, though. This could be major, and I don't think that the implications have been fully thought out yet. I'm still struggling with them myself. rhet0ric
