[MacDV] Off Topic... sort of > OSX/OS9 bootable machines

[ShirleyK]

I think many of us have the same questions you do. When I get offline 
here, I'm going to attempt to install FrameMaker on a new computer that 
does not boot into 9. Some have said that you can install OS 9 
applications in Classic, but I suspect this is going to work on some 
and not others. If the installer program does not start up Classic, I 
will start Classic myself and try again. If that doesn't work, I guess 
I'm out of luck.

You can try asking each manufacturer, but I struck out finding 
information online about FrameMaker. I meant to move to InDesign 
anyway, but so far I haven't learned enough about it to feel confident 
that I can switch yet (for a monthly newsletter). I'm keeping the old 
machine until I can make the switch.
