[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1266341"] You're just not understanding what's going on. Lion is a Cocoa OS. Rosetta is a Carbon environment allowing Carbon apps to work. Since Rosetta itself is Carbon, it requires Carbon to work. Lion doesn't have Carbon, so it won't work, and whoever maintains Rosetta (Apple) won't update it to be a Cocoa app because you shouldn't still be using Carbon apps. You've had YEARS of warning about this. As an example, I still have Photoshop CS3. Because it works great with this machine. Never upgraded it. Guess what, it won't work with Lion. Am I upset? No, why should I be? I knew this day would come when I turned down upgrading to CS4. In my case, for what I do with it, Pixelmator will do the job. If I really NEED full Photoshop (or even if I just decide I "want" it), I'll pay to upgrade to the latest version. CS3 came out *four years ago.* I more than got my money's worth out of it. No complaints here. [/QUOTE]
