I have not had any success running FMP v3, 4 or 5 in OS X.  I get as 
far as loading up the main program dialogue then nothing.  It could be 
the hardware I have - upgraded G3 233 desktop circa 1998.  I'm 
currently running 10.3.9 on a Sonnet G4 400 card tweaked to 475 Mhz 
with 75 MHz bus  woo hoo!!  :(

I need to try it on some of my other machines but haven't got around to 
it yet.

FMP 7 runs just fine though, even on my system it is relatively quick 
although large sorts can be a bit of a drag.

Just because I elect to buy something more than a Mac mini does not 
necessarily mean I have an extra $400 for FMP.  Perhaps the system as 
purchased does what is required or all I really need is AW.
