Actually you *can* run System 6 (and earlier) if you really want to. 
There's an emulator out there, which is mainly for people who want to 
run old games (e.g. Dark Castle), which creates a "virtual Mac" on 
your Mac. I wish I could remember the name - it's pretty cool if 
you're a Mac veteran and have fond memories of all this old stuff.
