Until Apple makes a 17" MacBook Pro<br>

Well, they already do, albeit with a lower resolution than your Dell.</blockquote><div><br>I suppose I should say, "until I can afford one", heh? They do offer a 17" LED-backlit version that's 1920x1200. Way out of my pricerange, though.<br>

Apple went Intel-only with the release of Leopard<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
No, they didn't. That will probably happen with the next release (10.6, aka Snow Leopard).</blockquote><div><br>I meant Apple hardware. Yes, Leopard itself supports PPC for those people with older G5s or G4s who want the new OS, but all hardware sine Auguest 2006 has been intel only.<br>

and most Tiger machines<br>
were intel as well<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Not really.</blockquote><div><br>Well, every Tiger machine made since August 2006 was Intel based. Leopard wasn't released until October 2007, so that's quite a few Intel-only Tiger machines.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Plus, if you compile your app on Tiger, it will<br>
run on Leopard, but not the other way around.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
You can compile apps on Leopard which run all the way back to Jaguar (10.2.8). You do have to use the proper SDK (-XR/path/to/SDK) and tell the linker to generate compatible binaries (-k"-macosx_version_min 10.2" or whatever).<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Yes, it's tricky. I never did get it to work right. However, since Lazarus apps compiled on Tiger run just fine on Leopard, that's the solution I've been taking.<br></div></div><br>-- <br>
