I imagine we'll see quite a snowball effect this year.  After all, you and I
switched (GoLive is much faster on OS X, yes indeed), and if die-hards like
us can be pursuaded its only a matter of maybe 8 months to gain majority
penetration.

However, it seems we'll be saddled with OS 9 requirements for some years to
come.  I even still get a few requests for 68k versions of some apps.
