[QUOTE="baggss, post: 286866, member: 6762"] Classic Apps are still around. Not many new ones are being made, but OSX still supports classic simply because there is a demand for it. I was not referring to "Classic" Apps per-se, I was referring to the Pre-PPC (aka 68k) classic Apps. The PPC predated OSX by some years. You’re missing the point. It's not a matter of writing one or the other. Right now Apple is pushing "Universal Binaries" which are Apps that will run on [i]both[/i] PPC AND Intel. I agree that PPC ONLY Apps will go away, but Universals will be around for some time. I don't see that going away any time soon. BTW, CS3 will be a Universal Binary, so it will support both systems.
