Surely not? It may be technically possible for them to develop and release some such thing, which users could download and then use with their existing Leopard DVD to burn some new bootable Leopard install DVD that will work with the new hardware. But I imagine that the number of people who want to buy a new Mac and then erase the OS and replace it with an old discontinued OS version are in a tiny, tiny minority. Not worth Apple's time. For that very small number of users there already exists a workable solution - the used Mac market. -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

This is not as good a workable solution because it then makes the day one has to get more modern machinery come sooner and at greater expense. We do not know the number of people who would like new hardware with its power advantages who would like the ability to delay upgrading their expensive software considering it suits their every little need. Capitalist economies tend to embed a distasteful and wasteful obsoleteness in their goods. I don't like it. Please don't tell me what I should *have* done. I have done it and you are now all responsible for helping me get the best value out of my $2000 purchase. I want you to concentrate on my future, not my miserable and wretched and shameful past. <g> -- dorayme
