I'm not under the impression that my mac will turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight. But I do have a few software titles that I wouldn't want to lose if I bought a new mac in, let's say, 6 months. So does this mean that I can trust that any new software I buy WILL run the classic environment correctly under X without having to boot into 9? To lose my old software titles is one thing, but what about new software. Software is not exactly easy to return once it's been opened. -Brian -----Original Message----- From: Mac OS X Newbies [mailto:X-Newbies at lists.themacintoshguy.com]On Behalf Of Tim Collier Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 7:51 PM To: Mac OS X Newbies Subject: Re: [X Newbies] Diskwarrior and OS X I get the impression that you think that as of 12:00:01 AM on Jan 1, 2003 your PRESENT Mac will no longer boot OS 9. Am I wrong? If I am correct, you're mistaken....that only applies to NEW Macs manufactured after that date. Sorry if I'm putting words into your mouth but reading that makes me wonder.....
