I'm a little late to this thread, but I got the impression you had just
purchased more than one new machine. Is that correct? If so what model are
they? Are you aware that Apple has stated that after January; almost all
models of Macs "WILL NOT BOOT INTO OS 9". If your model was one of these,
there will be NO OS 9 CD provided because it would be useless anyway. An OS
9 System folder is provided on the hard drive to support Classic, and that
folder is probably part of the recovery CD set provided. If your order was
filled prior to January and you didn't get OS 9 CD's call Apple and tell
them, they should correct the situation, either way, this appears like you
should have a beef with Apple. Why are you taking up bandwidth here?
