FWIW I believe the Lady has a new e-mac. My own feeling was that these were at present able to run OS9 as they are directed at education where budgets are tight. If (and I stress IF) this is so then it seems that the education models may only be supplied through education dealers. Alternatively they may only be supplied to special order through the Apple Store. Maybe the best thing is to complain either to Apple or the dealer (or both) and see if you can get one of the education/special order versions. Best of luck! Chris
