Yes; you are right about my running LC on ancient Macs (although at 13 
years my oldest Mac I actually use
[G3 iMac] is significantly less ancient than I am at 51]).

That does not stop the fact that I recently had to 'upgrade' most of the 
Pentium 4 machines in my school
to Edubuntu 7.04 for the simple reason that with earlier recensions on 
Ubuntu Livecode 6.1 was "going all funny" and not loading properly.
