Could everyone please remember this is the 68k Mac forums? If your computer has 4 digits in the model number, that's a good indicator that it has a PPC chip inside. If you are talking about OS 9, that is a PPC only thing. Keep these forums 68k-pure! Sgt. Tallgeese

And Brave New World was more accurate a predictor of what will happen to our society. But that isn't really relevant...Sgt. Tallgeese

That leads me to an interesting thought: Which dystopic vision (Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World, or any other similar work) do you think is the most accurate depiction of the current circumstances? Personally, I can see elements of both. Brave New World, of course, has the rampant sex and consumption of economic products, the constant general indulgence in all forms of instant gratification. Also, the class structure can be compared to how vertical mobility in our society is more and more restricted by the cost of post-secondary education. However, there are Orwellian elements to it as well: the Corporation is always right, and so forth... GORDOOM

add the "Satires" of Juvenal to the list and it's no contest, fiction can't compare with history when it comes to this kind of stuff, that guy could be writing this stuff right now about the problems of the modern world. people never change!http://www.princeton.edu/~champlin/cla219/219juvenal.htm jt
