The fact that it's an optional install on Snow Leopard is a gentle hint (along with Snow Leopard not being available for PowerPC based systems) that support for the old PowerPC code-base is going away. Some folks have been having difficulty with Rosetta causing the software that runs the windowing software on their machines to die or freeze requiring a restart. I have not experienced this but I don't use much PowerPC based software at this point. I do need to re-calibrate my displays though.... adam On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 12:56 PM, Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: > Well, in my case it was just a matter of switching from Firewire to USB.
