Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Windows-less Caching databases
My boxes, aside from one iMac, are all PPC boxes. I don't want to buy
more hardware, especially if it won't run Mac OS.

I've been inside UN*X for over 30 years (yep, even USG 3), and my
inclinations aren't to built a system. I'd rather build my own
application, which is where I think this may be heading.
