Re: The demise of MacInTalk with System 7.0

Since the thing is so darned popular, why doesn't Apple just contract the
original vendor for an update?  I can't believe the fee to be that steep.
That failing, why don't they BUY the source?  Or, if the original product
was just a fast hack for the original Mac launch in 1984, then why not
hack a new one - the stuff to do it should be a lot more public (read:
published) now.
