[Ti] Os9 and Panther

[Barry]

Clayton,

You didn't mention what model of G4 Powerbook you have - whether it can 
boot OS9 or not. Machines made before January 2003 will be able to boot 
OS 9 as well as OS X. Machines made from January 2003 through today 
will only be able to "run" OS 9 applications (Classic mode). And there 
are some OS 9 apps that won't run in Classic mode (they require native 
OS 9). Hopefully none of your OS 9 apps fall into this category.
