I've just been told by a reliable source that FSX is going to be optimised for the latest version of Apples' OSX.

This is a surprise for all I'm sure. Shocked

So, Mic, by your calculations, that would involve in excess of 14,000 3-1/2, 720k floppy disks for a full install of FSX...Shocked...!
Blimey...!
I don't know where I'm going to store them all... Cry...!

LOL... Grin...!

Paul...so much for progress... 8)...!

well, if we look at the evolution of FS packaging since FS2000 we can safely say:
FS2000 = CD Case
FS2002 = Slip Cases
FS2004 = Metal Box
FSX = Warehouse

i just hope it comes with a lock
