On OS versions: It costs time and effort that you don't have, to try to
support more than one configuration. Forget about it.
BrickDraw3D is targeted at OS 9. I'm not going to test it or investigate
problems on a slew of older configurations. 8.6 is not bad for supporting
the same software environment (Nav Services etc) so is probably fine. More

OS X was a waste of time. Cocoa still looks nice, but not worth the effort
to learn. I'd sooner switch to Windows XP. Carbon was a colossal waste of
time. As far as I'm concerned, it's an OS 9 Mac-world.
