I wonder how much of this is people sitting in a browser in classic. I'm always startled when i show people things they don't have to run in classic - they're just comfortable there.

Interesting point -- I hadn't even thought of that (probably because when I was using OS X, I hated having to launch Classic almost more than anything ;) ). That might explain a lot of it.

Yeah, me too. HATE HATE HATE running classic. I can't remember the last time i launched it, honestly.

Which is why i'm always so surprised to see people using it. Most recently, i caught an artist friend of mine bitching about NCSA telnet crashing hard all the time in Classic. She almost fell over when i introduced her to terminal. ;)
