I don't know. If you haven't noticed PCs are more prevelent and cheaper(As
low as $300 for a 200MMX(Opinion: IT's also better but that's like "what's
the best Ice Cream). There's even the Emachine in a cute case like the iMac)
Tigerdirect has a $500 dollar unit with a PC and the full-blown Mindstorm
set. Most of the Schools in *my* area have upgraded to PC(better then when I
was then 1 Mac 2 Apple IIs and 5 TRS 80s Woo Hoo. This was when the average
PC was a 386).
It just isn't financially wise to port unproven tech to the Mac at this
time.
Sure Steve Jobs will save The Mac, Look at all the wonderful things he did
for NeXt. Oh.

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
