I'm a little late on reading the news, so somebody has probably pointed this
out already:  Backdrop DOES NOT work on a MacII!!!  This has been posted here
MANY times by the author (Tim Maroney), and he'd probably tell you again, but
I'm sure he wants to save his fingers for typing things other than "Backdrop
doesn't work on MacII", "Backdrop doesn't work on MacII"......
