[kj] very dull OT Mac OSX

[Javier Garcia]

Those new G5 machines are gorgeus!, but still I would wait a few months to get one. 
I'm kind of doubtful regarding OSX, I hate that fonts mess in the font menu of the applications, there's not such a thing as Type Reunion to put some order in the menu so it is diplayed by families. 
I work a lot with pre-press and press companies, and none of them have updtaed to OSX yet... there are some problems with printer's drivers to make plates and negative films... but after all this happens in Mexico (we often get "actualization 1" when in the States or Europe already have "actualization 3" ), maybe many of those problems have been already solved.
On the other hand I know guys who work basically with web and interactive media and don't have major problmes.

cheers!

Javier
