That assumes "we" includes folks who won't upgrade to the latest Macs.

But like I said, if these apps are so great, why are people still using NCU,
trying to buy older OS 9 Macs to support it? The answer simply must be that
the OS X native Newton apps are lackluster at best. And if after all these
years, these OS X native apps still aren't as capable as a 1996 piece of
software (NCU), then I doubt they ever will be.

Or am I offbase here?

Thanks,
