One thing MacOS X promises is not to run on lots and lots of machines 
which will be around for quite some time.

I know it won't run on my old machine (8100)...but I don't care: 
that machine runs MkLinux most of the time these days anyhow.

I'm pretty sure MacOS X won't run on my 7300...and I'm not about to 
buy yet another machine which "will" run the next thing (which is 
what MacOS X is this week).  When I bought the 7300, the Apple party 
line was that it was a machine which would run Rhapsody (which would 
be out now).

My MacOS X machine--if any--will be purchased when it's possible to 
buy it with MacOS X installed by Apple.  Lists of machines it will 
run on no longer interest me.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.  Teach him to fish,
and you get rid of him for the weekend.
