Yes, it is well known that Panther can run on a Lombard; that is not the issue. My friend likes to watch DVDs on her laptop, and OSX will not allow it using the Lombard's hardware...unless U know something I don't?<BR>

OS 9 is the proper term for running booting and running OS 9 by itself.<BR>

Yes, BUT I CHOOSE to call anything <OSX "classic" whether it is running OSX or not. Just my thing...<BR>

on it. Explorer and NetScrape barely function on many sites, on some<BR>
not at all. While under Tiger you can use Safari 4 which is the latest<BR>
version.<BR>

I installed iCab and the classzilla browser on the machine. She's a light e-mailer and browser, so I think she can manage with OS9.<BR>
<BR>
...especially since itis being GIVEN to her for free...!<BR>
