Let me just point out that at the current time, neither Cricket Draw (an
upcoming drawing program for the Mac which looks extremely promising) nor
Servant by Andy Hertzfeld will run on a Mac. I would buy both programs if
they are as promised and I suspect so would lots of others. I think the
decision to not support users with the older roms is purely a marketing one
and if a company chooses to do so that is there perogative as it is you
choice whether to upgrade. Personally I would try to make my programs run
on as many Macs as possible.
