Fun fact: the US Social Security Administration still maintains and distributes a Mac PowerPlant app, built with CodeWarrior as a PPC binary (which of course doesn't work on 10.7+)!

I ported it to Xcode, keep the code on GitHub, and maintain an Intel build. Haven't been able to get the attention of anyone at the SSA though.

Looks like your screenshot links got broken in the second part of your series (maybe since they're TIFF they won't display inline on Windows Chrome?). I'd love to read the rest of the series when you write it, as well!

Thanks for the tip, 10.4 takes screenshots as TIFF (unless you use Grab.app) and didn't realize Chrome won't show them. Unfortunately I don't think I'll finish out the series with quite that many separate posts, but I want to do at least one more to finish it out and get the screenshots up.
