Aagh! I forgot the other part of my question. I'm looking to take my
PowerBook from OS X 10.3.5 either to a later version of Panther or to
10.4.x, and I was wondering if there are some versions OS X that are more
Newton-friendly than others. I should say I haven't tried get the two
talking to each other yet, but I'd like to have a go.

Any recommendations or warnings before I commit myself in an OS upgrade?

Shalom.
