I expected it somewhere in com.apple but nice that its fully compatible!

The reason why I am asking is that I still go to school and OSX is quite 
too expensive for me.
I use Linux but even compared to MS-OS (which is at least 5y up to date) 
Apple stops supporting older OSses even after a year!
Have a look, latest Safari and Java both need 10.3 - no luck with 10.2 
which is maybe 18 months old.
This is really sad, but its the thruth - its soo good but just too 
expensive for me :-(
Thanks a lot for your help, lg Clemens
