Running a 500MHz iBook so no Quartz "Extreme". Surprisingly don't get much
junk mail (though now that I'm off digest I'm momentarily shocked
sometimes to see over 100 e-mails in my inbox, sure makes webmail.mac.com
a pain to see if I have important (no offense) mail). Don't see the need
for iCal when I have a Newton. I prefer unix 'talk' to iChat, or just a
phone call really.
Biggest reason I can see is to use nSync!
Yes, I've been Steved. Feels more like what Bill would do. Free is a good
price (lucky you) but I wouldn't have minded if there was an upgrade price
for those who've been dealing with a buggy X.0 and X.1, and paying for the
privilege. I'll wait for a new Mac, or X.3.
